A case of digital angioleiomyoma

Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor arising from the muscle layer of the vein walls and mainly develops on the lower extremities of middle-aged women. We encountered a 31-year-old man who had a 3 year history of a painless but tender, 0.6 × 0.6 cm-sized nodule on the voter aspect of his left third finger. Histopathologically, a well-circumscribed nodular tumor was observed in the dermis, which comprised of numerous, various-sized, vessels and bundles of smooth muscle fibers. It is relatively rare for an angioleiomyoma to occur on me finger.
