Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of angioleiomyoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vascular leiomyoma or angioleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor which belongs to the group of benign smooth muscle tumors. They are commonly located at the extremities, usually presented as a painful solitary lesion in the subcutaneous tissue. To date, very few reports describe its characteristics from an imaging point of view, especially their ultrasound characteristics, making it difficult to do a pre-surgical diagnosis. Our purpose is to describe the clinical, pathologic and imaging features of angioleiomyoma [ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings].

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed from the pathology database from Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón, Madrid, Spain, the clinical histories of 139 patients who had surgic
