[Zosteriform cutaneous leiomyoma. Satisfactory treatment with oral doxazosin].
We report a 50-year-old man that presented a zosteriform cutaneous leiomyoma in the left facial region, intensely painful, that showed great improvement after the administration of a daily dose of 4 mg of oral doxasozin. The therapy was well tolerated and did not present any associated adverse effect. In the English medical literature only two cases successfully treated with doxasozin have been reported.
