Abstract:
Angioleiomyoma is a deep dermal or subcutaneous, benign tumor that originates from the vascular smooth muscle. It commonly presents between the third and sixth decades of life and it has a female preponderance. It mainly develops on the limbs and especially the lower legs. We experienced a case of angioleiomyoma that occurred on the chin, and this clinically mimicked hemangioma.
