Angioleiomyoma
is a solitary form of leiomyoma that usually occurs as a painful
subcutaneous lesion, with a predilection for the lower extremities of
middle-aged women. In this report the case of an 11-year-old boy with
angioleiomyoma mimicking giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS)
in the palm is presented. After marginal excision of the tumor,
histopathologic and immunohistochemical studies confirmed a typical
case of angioleiomyoma and ruled out the preoperative diagnosis of
GCTTS. There was no evidence of local recurrence at the 1-year
follow-up examination.
Epiphora as a
presenting sign of angioleiomyoma of the lacrimal sac.
Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. 2007 Nov-Dec;23(6):490-2.
A 50-year-old
man presented with progressive enlargement of a right medial canthal
mass for 5 years. The patient subsequently noted epiphora of 6-month
duration on the affected side. An anterior orbitotomy was performed,
which uncovered a well-circumscribed mass in the lacrimal sac.
Histologic sections of the mass revealed an angioleiomyoma. Following
complete excision, the epiphora resolved and there is no evidence of
tumor recurrence at 1 year of follow-up. To the best of our knowledge,
this is
the first report of an angioleiomyoma in the lacrimal sac. |
