Abstract

Cutaneous leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle neoplasms of the skin. They arise from vascular, arrector pili, genital, and areolar smooth muscles. The most common localizations of cutaneous leiomyomas are the extensor surfaces of the extremities and the trunk. To our knowledge, only few cases of one-sided nipple leiomyomas have been reported, but two-sided nipple leiomyomas have not been presented. For the first time, here, we report a bilateral nipple leiomyoma.

Highlights

  • Cutaneous leiomyomas are benign neoplasms of smooth muscles that sometimes occur in a multiple fashion

  • We report the case of a patient with a leiomyoma arising from bilateral nipples who presented with persistent nipples pain and tenderness

  • Leiomyomas are benign soft-tissue neoplasms that arise from smooth muscle
