Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the vascular smooth muscle (tunica media) and characterized by either a painful or painless, solitary subcutaneous nodule occurring most often in the lower extremity. We report a case of intense FDG uptake in the angioleiomyoma of right lower leg on $^{18}F-FDG$ PET/CT.

자궁 경부 혈관근종은 평활근 세포와 두꺼운 벽의 혈관으로 구성되어 있는 극히 드문 양성 종양이다. 현재 자궁 경부 혈관근종에 대한 증례 보고는 거의 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 38세 여성의 증례를 통하여 자궁 경부 혈관근종의 초음파, 조영증강 전산화단층촬영, 자기공명영상을 포함한 영상학적, 그리고 병리학적 소견에 대하여 보고하고자 한다.

Background Angioleiomyoma, a vascular leiomyoma, is a rare, benign smooth-muscle tumor that originates in the tunica media of vessels. It occurs anywhere in the body, most frequently in the lower extremities. Methods We reviewed the medical records of 16 patients who were treated for angioleiomyoma between 2000 and 2012. The clinical features of angioleiomyoma and the correlation between symptoms and pathological subtypes were investigated. Results There were 9 males and 6 females. Ages of the patients ranged from 21 to 61. Pain was the primary symptom in 44% of the patients. Tumors were smaller than 2.0 cm in all dimensions and were located in the face in 4 patients, whereas 5 lesions occurred in the upper extremities and the remaining 7 in the lower extremities. Three histologic subtypes were identified: solid, venous, and cavernous. The subtypes did not correlate with the clinical symptoms. Conclusions Angioleiomyoma appears to be a rare tumor that occurs in the face and the extremities. The tumor usually occurs in middle age. A differential diagnosis of this tumor is difficult, but the tumor should be considered in the diagnosis of painful subcutaneous masses. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful in the diagnosis of angioleiomyoma. These tumors can be successfully treated with simple excision, with a low recurrence rate.

This study presents a case of an oral angioleiomyoma along with its clinical diagnostic approach and laboratory confirmation. The differential diagnosis, especially from angioleiomyosarcoma, is also included. A 51-year-old patient presented with a tumor-like lesion on his upper labial mucosa. The clinical examination revealed a benign lesion that was surgically removed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of an oral angioleiomyoma. The post-surgical period was uneventful. No recurrence had occurred after a year of follow-up surveillance. Oral angioleiomyoma is a very rarely occurring oral lesion. Clinically, it may mimic some benign lesions, including fibroma, pyogenic granuloma or minor salivary gland tumor. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Histological and immunohistochemical examination can confirm the diagnosis. The differential diagnosis is crucial to rule out angioleiomyosarcoma.

Angioleiomyoma is an infrequent benign smooth muscle tumor that arises from smooth muscle cells of arterial or venous walls in the tunica media layer. It would be found in the dermis, the subcutaneous tissue, or the superficial fascia of the anywhere in the body and is most often seen in the lower extremities. The typical lesion is a small, slowly growing, round, but firm and mobile nodule. We report a case of angioleiomyoma located on the anterior aspect of the elbow, which was mistaken for extradigital glomus tumor after history taking, physical examination. With point tenderness and worsening sharp pain in cold exposure for several years, the patient was referred for a further evaluation, and the lesion was 5 mm sized well-circumscribed mass in the anterior elbow with vascular signals on color and power Doppler by ultrasonography and finally diagnosed as angioleiomyoma following complete excision and histological evaluation.

Angioleiomyomas are a vascular subtype of leiomyomas or benign smooth muscle tumors. The majority of these tumors occur in the extremities. Angioleiomyoma of the larynx has been reported but is exceedingly rare. Laryngeal angiomyomas can present with hoarseness, dyspnea, or globus sensation, and often misdiagnosed as asthma. We report a case of a 74-year old man with laryngeal angioleiomyoma misdiagnosed as asthma.

Angioleiomyomas are relatively uncommon benign tumors originating from smooth cells of a blood vessel. Although curative by surgical excision, they are rarely diagnosed definitely before surgery. We report on a case of calcified angioleiomyoma occurring on the sole, which was treated by surgical excision without recurrence and a review of literature is presented.

혈관평활근종은 주로 팔다리에 발생하는 양성 종양으로 비강에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 코중격에 발생한 혈관평활근종 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다. 51세 여자가 잦은 코피를 주소로 내원하였다. 왼쪽 코중격에 경계가 좋은 종괴가 관찰되었다. 종괴에 대한 절제를 시행하였다. 절제된 종괴는 $0.7{\times}0.5{\times}0.4cm$ 크기였으며 회백색을 띠었다. 조직학적으로 종괴는 두꺼운 혈관벽을 가진 혈관과 민무늬근육세포의 증식으로 구성되어 있었다. 민무늬근육세포는 방추형으로 시가형태의 핵을 가졌으며 세포질은 호산성이었다.

Angioleiomyoma is a benign soft tissue tumor originating from vascular smooth muscle. We report a case of a 20-year-old student who presented with pain in the right shoulder of 4 years duration. Shoulder movements were pain-free throughout the range of motion except resisted external rotation. Magnetic resonance imaging visualized a well-circumscribed lesion over the infraspinatus tendon. The lesion was surgically removed and sent for histopathological analysis. Morphology and immunohistochemistry results were suggestive of angioleiomyoma. The most common location for such a lesion is the lower limb, with less than 1% being reported in the upper arm, of which an angioleiomyoma of the shoulder is extremely rare.

Angioleiomyoma is benign smooth muscle tumor originating from the vascular wall. While they can occur in various anatomical locations, they are rarely reported in the vallecula region of the oropharynx. We present a case of a 58-year-old female patient with a five-year history of progressive dysphagia and throat discomfort. Laryngoscopy revealed a large, soft, mobile mass located on the right side of the vallecula. Radiological imaging further characterized the lesion as a well-circumscribed, heterogeneous mass. Surgical intervention in the form of Transoral Videolaryngoscopic Surgery (TOVS) was performed, leading to the successful removal of the mass. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of angioleiomyoma.
