Multiple painful cutaneous facial papules.
A 21-year-old female with linear, flesh-colored papules on her face was diagnosed with cutaneous piloleiomyoma. Important associations for physicians to be aware of include uterine leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, and renal cell carcinoma. Mutations for this syndrome have been mapped to the fumarate hydratase gene.
