Abstract:
Angiomyoma is a benign soft tissue tumor that arises from the smooth muscle layer of blood vessels in the deeplayers of the dermis, or in subcutaneous tissue. It occurs as a well-encapsulated solitary mass, most of which areless than 2cm in diameter. Some patients complain of pain with or without tenderness. This tumor has apredilection for the lower extremities of middle-aged females. MRI findings of angiomyoma of the extremities haverarely been reported, and we describe these findings in two cases of angiomyoma of the hand and foot.
