Abstract
Cutaneous leiomyomas are rare, benign smooth muscle tumors, characterized by painful nodules in most of the cases. They can occur in multiple disseminated, segmental or zosteriform and solitary forms. Segmental or zosteriform leiomyoma can occur either alone (Type I), or with scattered nonsegmental lesions elsewhere (Type II); the latter variety occurring rarely. Here we present a case of Type II zosteriform leiomyoma in a middle aged individual.
