Abstract

Background:Cutaneous mosaicism is a possible cause of segmental skin diseases. Cutaneous leiomyomatosis represent a spectrum of conditions ranging from single lesions to disseminated wide distribution. Reed's syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas.Main observation:We observed a segmental cutaneous piloleimyomatosis type 1 in a 55-year old female who had an uterus extirpation because of uterine leiomyomas. The cutaneous lesions were moderately painful and localized on her left upper trunk. They presented as firm nodules and small plaques in a linear arrangement. Renal cancer was excluded.Conclusion:In patients with multiple cutaneous (pilo)leiomyomas a search for underlying systemic diseases is necessary in order to not miss benign or malignant tumors of internal organs.
