To review the historical classification and clinical presentation of solitary cutaneous and subcutaneous smooth muscle tumors manifesting as painful tubercles.
Conducted a retrospective historical literature review evaluating clinical reports of superficial smooth muscle tumors and tuberculum dolorosum.
Analyzed literature dating from the eighteenth century through the late nineteenth century, including case series of over 132 multiple dermatomyomas and early reports of solitary variants.
Early clinical descriptions documented solitary superficial smooth muscle tumors as painless nodules across various anatomical sites, including the scrotum, neck, and nipple.
Solitary subcutaneous leiomyomas can clinically manifest with severe paroxysmal pain, identifying them alongside glomus tumors as a distinct cause of tuberculum dolorosum.
