Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angioleiomyoma or vascular leiomyoma is a benign solitary smooth muscle tumor that occurs uncommonly. The peak incidence is in the third to fifth decades of life, and women are more often affected than men. This tumor is rarely diagnosed before surgery. The usual treatment is simple excision of the mass and ligation of feeder vessels. The authors experienced a case of this tumor involving the biceps femoris muscle around the common peroneal nerve and it was treated by excision of the mass. After a brief review of the literature available on this tumor, the authors report a case of angioleiomyoma in a 65 year-old man.
