Abstract

The angioleiomyomas are rare soft tissue tumors mainly arising from smooth muscle cell layer. These vascular origin tumors often present at extremities. The exact underlying cause is unknown for these tumors. Due to nonspecific presentations and inconclusive radiological   findings, it is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The exact management line of these rare soft tissue tumors may be delayed or vary, due to misdiagnosis. To expand the awareness of the pathology  of this condition, more publications are needed. We are presenting a rare case of angioleiomyoma of left arm mimicking as soft tissue tumor, which implements the list of differential diagnosis of peripheral extremity soft tissue tumors.

Keywords: Leiomyoma, angioleiomyoma, musculoskeletal tumors, soft tissue tumors, magnetic resonance imaging
