Abstract

We report a case of linear arranged multiple cutaneous leiomyoma in a 45-year-old man. About 20 years ago, multiple normal skin colored firm papules developed on the left anterior chest and increased in number and size arranging in linear pattern. Some larger nodular lesions changed into brown in color and became painful after cold exposure. The lesions looked like keloid at first sight but the histopathologic finding showed typical leiomyoma in which the interlacing bundles of smooth muscle fibers with varying amount of collagen bundles intermingled.
