Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascular Tumors
  • Soft Tissue Neoplasms

Background:

  • Angiomyomas, specifically vascular leiomyomas, are uncommon soft tissue tumors.
  • Their occurrence in the upper extremities presents diagnostic and surgical challenges for orthopedic specialists.
  • Literature review is essential for understanding rare presentations of these neoplasms.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a vascular leiomyoma was identified in the upper extremity of a 79-year-old female patient.
  • The clinical presentation and diagnostic workup are detailed.
  • Surgical management considerations for this specific anatomical location are highlighted.

Findings:

  • The case confirms the possibility of angiomyoma development in the upper limb.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of vascular leiomyoma.
