title: Multiple cutaneous leiomyomas. Report of a case.
abstract: Multiple cutaneous leiomyomas usually appear as painful nodules of the skin. Historically these have been treated by surgical excision, however, because they are often numerous, surgery may be an impractical approach. This article reports on a patient with multiple leiomyomas of the face treated by excision as well as a discussion of alternative treatments such as pharmacologic agents that may be used when surgical excision is not feasible.
