Synonyms
- Angiomyoma, vascular leiomyoma, tuberculum dolorosum
Definitions
- Benign, often painful, smooth muscle neoplasm preferentially occurring in dermis or subcutaneous tissues, usually of lower extremity
- Composed of well-differentiated perivascular smooth muscle cells arranged around numerous vascular channels
- Morphologic continuum exists between angiomyoma and myopericytoma (perivascular myxoid neoplasm)
- Angioleiomyomas are thought to be most common variant of cutaneous leiomyomas
