Cutaneous Leiomyoma (CL) is benign tumour arises from smooth muscle cells. Clinical presentation can range from solitary, multiple, segmental and zosteriform. These painful tumours tend to occur more frequently in adults. They can be either inherited or sporadic. Multiple CL can be associated with reed syndrome. This condition has a significant association with internal organ involvement, such as the uterus, kidneys, and retroperitoneal soft tissues. This condition can mimic many other disorders; therefore, histopathological examination combined with special stains is crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Medical treatment is often unsatisfactory; however, surgical options are generally preferred for managing solitary lesions and angioleiomyomas. Multiple cutaneous leiomyomas can substantially affect patients' quality of life and result in significant cosmetic concerns. Although sarcomatous transformation is rare in cutaneous leiomyomas, clinicians should remain vigilant for both sarcomatous changes and systemic associations. Hence detailed clinical evaluation and screening should be undertaken for early detection of complication.
