Abstract

Angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a rare soft-tissue tumour with an overall prevalence of fewer than 100 cases reported so far. ALMs are well-defined, painless, slow-growing lesions, making preoperative differentiation from leiomyomas or other mesenchymal tumorsdifficult. We present here a case of a 24-year-old female with an exophytic, cystic swelling in the nasal cavity clinically suspected to be a nasolabial cyst. Surgical excision is the primary treatment of ALM, with a low recurrence rate and only one reported case of malignant transformation to this date. This case highlights the importance of considering this rare benign lesion in the list of differential diagnoses for a fairly common complaint of sinonasal swelling and the definitive role of histopathology alongwith IHC for diagnosing such tumors.
