Abstract

Congenital cutaneous angioleiomyoma is an extremely rare benign smooth muscle tumor. We present a case of a firm, painful subcutaneous mass noticed at birth on the left leg that on surgical excision proved to be an angioleiomyoma. Prognosis is good, and recurrences are uncommon. To our knowledge, this is the second report of a congenital angioleiomyoma.
