“…Angiomyolipoma (AML), also referred to as angiolipoleiomyoma (ALLM) [ 4 ], is classified as a hamartoma that belongs to a family of tumors arising from perivascular epithelioid cells (PEComas) [ 5 ]. Hamartoma is a focal malformation that resembles a benign neoplasm in that it is composed of tissue elements normally found in that tissue but grows in a disorderly fashion [ 3 ].…”

Angiomyolipomas are hamartomatous lesions consisting of smooth muscle bundles, thick-walled blood vessels, and mature adipocytes. They are usually found in the kidneys of tuberous sclerosis patients and more rarely in other organs, such as the liver, the oral cavity, the sinonasal tract, the heart, the large intestines, the lungs, and the skin. Cutaneous angiomyolipoma has shown to be very rare and generally occurs at the ends of the digits, the elbows, the ears, and the nose. Herein, we report the first documented case of angiomyolipoma of the glabellar region.

“…It presents almost exclusively in the kidney (99.7%) [2,8,41,42] and is therefore further classified as renal or extrarenal. Extrarenal AMLs (0.3%) have been reported in the liver (most common extrarenal AML) [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51], spleen [52], retroperitoneum [53], nasal cavity [54], oral cavity [55,56], heart [57,58], colon [59], lung [60], vagina [61,62], ovary [63], fallopian tubes [64], mediastinum [65], spermatic cord [66], penis [67], bone [68], and skin [69].…”

Cutaneous angiomyolipoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is demographically, clinically, and immunohistochemically distinct from its renal and extrarenal counterparts. We present a case of cutaneous angiomyolipoma in the right retroauricular area of a 35-year-old male patient and provide a broad systematic review of the literature and the largest compilation of cutaneous angiomyolipomas reported to date. According to the findings presented in this review, we conclude that cutaneous angiomyolipoma should be completely separated from renal and extrarenal angiomyolipomas and therefore be considered a distinct entity in the classification of skin tumors.

We present a novel case of a malignant transformation of an extremity soft tissue angioleiomyoma to leiomyosarcoma in a man in his late 70s who presented with a painful and increasing lump on his anterior tibia. Initial imaging and biopsy showed a benign angioleiomyoma which was excised for symptomatic reasons. An analysis of the resulting specimen revealed a 50×42×15 mm smooth muscle neoplasm consistent with angioleiomyoma with a 22×11 mm entirely intralesional nodular component in keeping with a grade 1 leiomyosarcoma. The malignant constituent of the lesion was entirely encased in benign angioleiomyoma negating the need for further surgery. Systemic staging investigation revealed no evidence of metastatic disease spread final staging as per the eighth edition of theAmerican Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC) Staging T1N0M0 R0 Stage 1 a.
