Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumour arising from the vascular smooth muscle of blood vessel walls. It usually occurs in the lower extremities of females as a slow-growing, firm and occasionally painful mass. Only 8.5~10% of angioleiomyoma have been reported to occur on the head and neck area. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge only 9 cases of angioleiomyoma have been reported to occur on the ear. Herein, we report a case of angioleioyoma in a 66 year-old woman who presented with a 4 year history of a painless, nontender nodule on the anti-helix of the ear, an unusual site of occurrence.
