Core Tip
Core tip: The most interesting feature of this case is the rarity of the presentation of the entity. Leiomyoma is not uncommon but zosteriform presentation is a relatively rare condition. Besides, discrete lesions apart from the zosteriform pattern, gives it the nomenclature of Type II zosteriform leiomyoma which is worth reporting.
