Abstract

|
Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor arising from vascular smooth muscle which commonly develops on the lower extremities of middle-aged women. It is rare to occur on the fingers. Angioleiomyoma is classified into three histological subtypes; solid, venous and cavernous. The solid type is most common but the cavernous type is very rare. We report a case of a 53-year-old female with a digital cavernous angioleiomyoma. The patient had a 2-year history of an asymptomatic and slowly enlarging 1.3×1.0 cm-sized subcutaneous nodule on the distal phalanx of her second left finger. Histopathologic examination showed a well-demarcated nodular tumor in the dermis, which composed of numerous, dilated vessels and bundles of smooth muscle fibers.
