Preauricular Angioleiomyoma

Preauricular masses are commonly seen in the otology clinic. Excisional biopsy is essential for diagnosis, and treatment is necessary to reduce the risk of malignancy and for cosmetic purposes. We recently treated a rare case of angioleiomyoma of the preauricular area. Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor arising from smooth muscle within blood vessel walls. These tumors can arise anywhere in the body; however, they are usually found in the lower extremities and present as a painful mass. Angioleiomyoma of the preauricular area in an elderly person is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. Here, we report the case of an 85-year-old male patient with angioleiomyoma of the preauricular area and provide a literature review.

“…In both cases, the neoplasia seem to develop from the vessels' smooth muscle. 11 Vascular leiomyomas are made up of bundles of relatively organized smooth muscle cells, permeated by thick walled vessels. The surface lesions are made mainly by thick wall vessels associated with proliferative muscle tissue.…”

“…In the limbs, these tumors are mainly solid; while in the head and neck they are frequently of the venous type.8,11 Histopathological differential diagnosis includes hemangioma, angiofibroma, fibromyoma, leiomyoblastoma, angiomyolipoma, vascular leiomyosarcoma. 11 …”

Liomyomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rare. They make up less than 1% of all leiomyomas in the human body. This is due to the paucity of smooth muscle in the nose. They are classified in three groups: leiomyoma, angiomyoma and epithelioid leiomyoma. Only 15 cases of vascular leiomyomas have been found in the literature. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Hereby we present a new case and review the literature.

“…Hachisuga et al (1) reported ve cases of angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity without describing the exact site of the lesion. Extensions into the nasopharynx , ethmoid sinus and anterior cranial fossa, without invasion of the dura, have been described (2,3). Bone erosion has rarely been reported (3 -5).…”

In recent years sex steroid receptors have been identified in several types of human neoplasia. Angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is an extremely rare benign neoplasm which is more common in females (3.75:1 female:male ratio). To the best of our knowledge, only approximately 25 cases have been described. We describe a new case of angioleiomyoma of the nasal cavity that was found to be progesterone-receptor positive and oestrogen-receptor negative on immunohistochemical analysis. We suggest that the growth of this tumour may be hormone-dependent.
