A Case of Angioleiomyoma on the Posterior Surface of Ear Helix / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle origin arising from the muscular layer of blood vessel walls. The tumor usually occurs in the lower extremities as a slow-growing, firm, mobile, and occasionally painful nodule. We report a case of angioleiomyoma which occurred on an unusual site, the posterior surface of ear helix.
