A Case of Cavernous Angioleiomyoma / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Angioleiomyoma is a solitary subcutaneous tumor characterized by proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Angioleiomyoma is classified into three histological subtypes; solid, venous and cavernous according to its dominant feature. The solid type is most common but the cavernous type is very rare. We report a case of cavernous angioleiomyoma in a 58-year-old male who complained of a tender tumor on the dorsum of his left hand.
