Leiomyoma (overview) Images

Leiomyomas: chronically stationary, existing since earliest childhood, here arranged in stripes, occasionally (pressure) painful, brown-red, flat, firm, smooth papules.

Leiomyomatosis of the cheek skin: flat, almost plate-like aggregated, symptomless leiomyomas of the skin.

Leiomyoma, close up.

Leiomyoma (marginal area): Missing follicular structure in lesional skin (right marked side); left normal skin with encircled follicles.

Leiomyoma: multiple, chronically stationary, existing since earliest childhood, occurring only at one localization (ubiquitous occurrence only rarely), in this case striped, occasionally (pressure-)painful, brown-red, flat, firm, smooth papules.

Leiomyoma (segmental cutaneous leiomyomatosis): Multiple, reddish-brownish papules in the upper abdomen, lateral thorax and back of a 49-year-old man.

Leiomyoma. Close up of the multiple leiomyomas described above.

Leiomyoma A blurred tumour with irregularly shaped, interwoven bundles of smooth muscle cells separated from the epidermis by a narrow border zone.

Leiomyoma; interwoven bundles of smooth muscle strands; typical spindle-like nuclear formations; isolated multinuclear giant cells (see middle of picture); honeycomb-like loosening of the cytoplasm by perinuclear halo formation (see upper part of the picture).

leiomyoma. detail enlargement: longitudinal and transverse strands of muscle cells. immunohistological presentation of actin. clearly detectable perinuclear halo formation, an important differential diagnostic sign.
