# Case Image: Cutaneous Leiomyoma

## TL;DR

This paper discusses cutaneous leiomyomas, rare benign tumors that can be painful or asymptomatic, and emphasizes the importance of histopathology for diagnosis and HLRCC screening.

## Contribution

The paper highlights the diagnostic importance of histopathology and the need for HLRCC screening in patients with multiple cutaneous leiomyomas.

## Key findings

- Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare benign smooth muscle tumors that can be painful or asymptomatic.
- Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis and is essential for identifying Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC).

## Abstract

Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare benign smooth muscle tumors that often present as painful dermal nodules; however, they can be asymptomatic too. Histopathology remains the gold standard for diagnosis and warrants screening for Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC) in patients presenting with multiple lesions.
