angiolipoleiomyoma

Sinonasal angioleiomyoma with adipocyte differentiation: clinicopathologic study of 2 cases and review of the literature

Angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a benign tumor of the skin and soft tissues composed of well differentiated smooth muscle cells arranged around and among many vascular channels. Few cases have been reported in the sinonasal region, where ALM may show a variable amount of mature adipose tissue that may make hard the distinction from angiomyolipoma.
