“…Bone scalloping and dystrophic calcifications have been reported in the orthopedic literature. 6,7,12 We believe this is the first report of the presence of a round calcification, which could be reasonably expected in the venous and cavernous histological subtypes of this tumor.…”

“…Variations in vascular density are possibly related to the three different histological subtypes of angioleiomyoma. 6 The presence of one or two vascular pedicles was observed in 4 patients; none of the lesions had multiple pedicles. This finding also points toward a benign nature of the lesion.…”

“…At the present time, 3 years after surgery, the patient is currently doing well, without evidence of recurrent disease, confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma, not leiomyosarcoma. Erosion of adjacent bone due to secondary compression phenomenon of vascular leiomyoma in other organs has rarely been reported in the literature [17], [18]. The mechanism is worth of further investigation.…”

PurposeTo present rare benign orbital tumors with bone destruction in children who could not be diagnosed pre-surgically and may simulate malignant ones.MethodsA retrospective review of cases. Clinical, operative and pathological records in all children with a diagnosis of benign orbital tumors who showed remarkable bone destruction at a tertiary Ophthalmic Center in China between Jan 1, 2000 and Dec 31, 2009 were reviewed. All patients had definitive histopathologic diagnosis.ResultsEight patients with benign orbital tumors showed obvious bone destruction, including six cases of eosinophilic granuloma, one case of leiomyoma and one case of primary orbital intraosseous hemangioma. Among them, three patients were females and five patients were males. Tumors were unilateral in all cases, with both the right and left side affected equally. Age ranged from 3 to 7 years (mean 4.1 years). Symptom duration ranged from 1 to 5 weeks (mean 4.8 weeks). Eyelid swelling and palpable mass were the most common complaint. There was no evidence for multifocal involvement in cases with eosinophilic granuloma. Among six patients with eosinophilic granuloma, two were treated with low dose radiation (10 Gy), three received systemic corticosteroid and one was periodically observed only after incisional biopsy or subtotal curettage. There was no postoperative therapeutic intervention in the two patients with leiomyoma and intraosseous hemangioma. All eight patients regained normal vision without local recurrence after a mean follow-up time of 32.8 months.ConclusionBenign orbital tumors such as isolated eosinophilic granuloma, leiomyoma and primary orbital intraosseous hemangioma may show remarkable bone destruction.

“…4,14,16 The tumour may exert a compressive effect on bone which is visible on X-ray, otherwise plain X-rays are usually normal. 17 Ultrasound features only show a homogenous structure with well-defined margins. MRI shows a smooth muscle mass, with numerous vessels within it, that is hyperintense on the T2-weighted sequence.…”

Angioleiomyoma is a slow-growing benign tumour that originates from the tunica media layer of vessel walls. It represents 4.4-5% of all benign soft tissue tumours and 0.2% of all tumours in the foot and ankle. Excisional biopsy of the tumour is both diagnostic and curative, with a low recurrence rate reported in the literature. Malignant transformation has been described in 1% of cases. We present a case of a 67-year-old female diagnosed with angioleiomyoma at the lateral malleolus. Level of evidence: Level 5Citation: Nakale NT, Saragas NP, Ferrao PNF, Strydom A.
