Abstract
The microscopical and immunohistochemical features of a rare cutaneous leiomyoma in a cat are described. The principal characteristics of th is tumour were multiple bundles of smooth muscle, either discrete or c onjoined, with numerous collagen fibres between the muscle cells, and osteoid metaplasia. The tumour was designated a piloleiomyoma as it wa s considered to have arisen from the arrector pili muscles. (C) 1995 A cademic Press Limited
