Haemangioma,
vascular leiomyoma, lymphoma or metastasis should be considered in the differential if the lesion is located elsewhere.
Angiomyolipomas may mimic lipoleiomyoma, degenerated myoma and
vascular leiomyoma with a fat component (16).
Histologically, three types of leiomyomas are present: epithelioid leiomyoma, solid -form leiomyoma, and
vascular leiomyoma (angiomyomas or angioleiomyomas) (5, 6).
Angioleiomyoma, also known as
vascular leiomyoma or angiomyoma, was first described by Stout et al, (1) in 1937.
Angioleiomyoma (AL), otherwise known as
vascular leiomyoma, is a rare variant of leiomyoma (LM) originating from smooth muscle cells and containing thick-walled vessels.
The differential diagnosis of this lesion includes fibrous histiocytoma, Malignant fibrous histocytoma, synovial sarcoma, other stromal sarcomas, juxtaglomerular tumor,
vascular leiomyoma, juvenile hemangioma and lobular capillary hemangioma.
