Abstract
We have confirmed the usefulness of nifedipine in the treatment of pain present in lesions of multiple skin leiomyomata. Our patient, a 28-year-old woman, had hundreds of skin lesions, proven histologically to be leiomyomata. Nifedipine (10 mg) three or four times daily was remarkably effective in diminishing pain that was more marked in the winter season.
