Angioeiomyomas Top Open Access Journals

Angioleiomyoma, also referred to as vascular leiomyoma, is a rare, benign, solitary tumor that originates from the vascular smooth muscle (tunica media). It always presents as a painful nodule in 30- to 50-year-old subjects. Angioleiomyoma are often found anywhere within the body, although it's more frequently located within the lower extremities. This tumor is never diagnosed until it's excised and a histopathological examination is conducted. In 1973, Morimoto classified cases of angioleiomyoma into 3 histologic types: solid, venous, and cavernous. He also divided the cases into a bigger group of extremity tumors and a smaller group of head tumors and mentioned that the previous consisted mainly of the solid sort of tumors and are often painful, whereas the latter consisted of tumors that are usually venous and painless. However, correlations between clinical presentation and pathologic types, if any, haven't yet been ascertained. We reviewed 16 consecutive patients who were treated at our facility over the last 12 years so as to research correlations between clinicopathological features and pathological sorts of angioleiomyoma. Angioleiomyoma may be a rare, benign, smooth muscle tumor arising from the tunica media of veins and is seldom diagnosed before surgery. Angioleiomyoma are often found throughout the body but occurs most often within the lower extremities. It commonly arises within the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. A majority of those tumors are quite small, generally but 2 cm in diameter, which is according to our results.Our review also supports previous results that indicated that angioleiomyoma is typically seen in patients aged between 30 years and 60 years. The male patients were significantly older than the feminine ones. Our sex distribution, a male-to-female ratio of 1.3:1, has not been seen in any previous study because angioleiomyoma features a female preponderance.
