“…4,5 The lesion is found mostly in adults, with patients' ages ranging from 16 to 77 years. 4 However, according to Ammanagi et al, 2 there was a recent case of angiomyolipoma found in a 3-year-old. The difference between cutaneous angiomyolipoma and renal angiomyolipoma is that the former has no link to tuberous sclerosis and is found predominantly in males, is noninvasive and rarely recurring, and tests negative to HMB-45 immunochemistry stain (Table 1).…”

In this article, we will examine a case of cutaneous angiomyolipoma in the right nasal alar base area of a 36-year-old man. Generally, angiomyolipoma occurs in the kidney and, histologically, has features that are similar to cutaneous angiomyolipoma: smooth muscle cells, mature adipose cells, and a convoluted thick-walled blood vessel. Clinically, renal angiomyolipoma is related to tuberous sclerosis, but cutaneous angiomyolipomas occur very rarely, with a total of only 23 cases documented in the literature, with 39% (9/23) of those cases occurring in the ear or surrounding areas. In particular, the abundance of blood vessels inside a cutaneous angiomyolipoma produces good enhancement on computed tomographic image, making it easy for the tumor to be mistaken for a vascular tumor. In this particular case, we will report about a previously unheard case of cutaneous angiomyolipoma occurring in the nasal alar base that was mistaken for a vascular tumor.

“…Therefore, our case is an oddity in many senses, including the rare combination of smooth muscle and small blood vessels and the prominence and closely intermingled distribution of both components. This case does not fit the criteria of cutaneous angiomyolipoma, as it does not have a lipomatous component; the bundles of smooth muscle are well organized, instead of irregularly arranged in sheets; and it does not present as a well‐demarcated solitary tumor. Moreover, the vascular component of angiomyolipoma is usually made of convoluted thick‐walled blood vessels.…”

We report on a combined cutaneous smooth muscle hamartoma and reticulate port-wine stain on the thigh of a 26-year-old woman. The lesion measured 30 cm in longest diameter and presented clinically with a macular erythematous telangiectatic vascular appearance. It was focally ulcerated, which represented the patient's main complaint. Histopathological study demonstrated smooth muscle bundles closely intermingled with a vascular component comprised of capillaries and venules. Such a morphological presentation is, to the best of our knowledge, unique in the literature.

“…Although AML almost always involves kidneys few articles indicate the possibility of extra-renal involvement as an extremely rare entity [ 2 ]. Histologic findings in both renal and extra-renal AML (ERAML) are similar but the renal type is more aggressive and may relapse [ 3 ].…”
