Abstract
- A 31-year-old Korean man presented with a 6-month history of a painful nodule on his neck. Excisional biopsy was performed for diagnosis and treatment. Histopathological evaluation of the resected specimen revealed well-demarcated vascular proliferation with adipose tissue in the dermis, and the patient was diagnosed with cutaneous angioleiomyoma with fat modulation. To our knowledge, angioleiomyomas most commonly occur on the extremities, and the head and neck are rarely involved. Few cases of cutaneous angioleiomyomas of the neck have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of cutaneous angioleiomyoma of the neck.
