Abstract

Cutaneous genital or dartoic leiomyomas are rare benign tumors originating in the smooth muscle fibers of the skin of the scrotum, vulva, nipple and areola. The latter are the less frequently observed. We report two cases of leiomyoma of the areola. Both presented as a solitary, small, nonulcerated nodule. Histopathological features shared similar characteristics: a non-encapsulated, ill-defined tumor in superficial and mid-dermis composed of spindle cells with elongated nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm, arranged in interdigitating fascicles. There were no atypia or mitoses. It was remarkable a reactive epidermal hyperplasia overlying the surface of the tumor, as is typically seen in the histiocytomas. Areolar leiomyoma is a benign lesion that is not known to undergo malignant transformation, although it may be confused clinically with carcinoma of the breast.
