Abstract

Most angioleiomyomas develop from the smooth muscle cells of the media or adventitia, most frequently in a subcutaneous vein, but larger veins (hepatic, femoral) may be involved. The tumour affects patients between the fourth and sixth decades with a predilection for females. The most frequent locations are in the legs and arms [1–3]. Other sites include the skin, nasal mucosa or the pharyngeal space [4–7]. An angioleiomyoma appears as a circumscribed mass, usually measuring about 2 cm in diameter, rarely larger than 4–5 cm. Pain, present in half of the cases, may be exacerbated by menses, pregnancy, pressure and changes in temperature. Simple excision is adequate treatment.
