Angioleiomyoma

[3] Angioleiomyomas appear as small (<2 cm), firm, movable, slow growing subcutaneous nodules.

Angioleiomyomas present as solitary, small, slow-growing, firm, movable, subcutaneous nodules that typically measure less than 2 cm in size.

[6] Aetiological aspects that have been suggested include minor trauma, venous stasis, and hormonal alterations, particularly those related to estrogen.

The venous stasis idea is supported by the observation of chronic inflammatory cell infiltrates in certain lesions.

[5] Histologically, angioleiomyomas have a unique pattern with several tiny vascular gaps surrounded by bundles of spindle-shaped smooth muscle cells.
