Abstract

extremities. This tumor has a predilection for middle-aged females. The true etiology is still largely unknown. Clinical and radiological examinations are frequently nonspecific and ambiguous, as a result, they are rarely diagnosed preoperatively. Simple excision and histopathology are the gold standard for the diagnosis. The purpose of this case study presentation is to emphasize the importance of including angioleiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of foot and ankle soft-tissue masses.
