“…Prior case reports detail venular origins5 – 9 and less commonly arterial origins 10. These unusual lesions are most frequently found in the lower extremities6 and to our knowledge this case is the first arising from the temporal artery.…”

A 25-year-old man had a right sided cyst-like swelling removed from his forehead. Histology revealed a well circumscribed spindle cell lesion with myxomatous changes. Immunohistochemical staining with muscle markers (smooth muscle actin, muscle specific actin) was positive. The histological features along with the immunohistochemical staining profile are of a leiomyoma with myxoid change arising in the temporal artery. Leiomyomata arising from vessels are extremely rare and to our knowledge this is the first case arising from the temporal artery.

HighlightsVascular smooth muscle tumours are rare entities. Majority of these are malignant.Differentiation between a vascular – leiomyoma and a leiomyosarcoma is chiefly upon histopathological examination. Imaging alone is non-contributory.The rarity of the tumour makes predicting the prognosis a challenging prospect.Renal Leiomyomas do not show aggressive behaviour and excellent prognosis is predicted post nephrectomy.An eight-year long charting of progress of leiomyoma in our case has demonstrated the non-malignant potential of such tumours.

“…Eighty percent of them arise in the large veins and about 50% arise from the inferior vena cava (1, 2). Other sites reported in the literature are iliac, hepatic, portal and popliteal veins and the pulmonary artery (2)(3)(4). It seems that veins are more affected than arteries.…”

Only a few cases of leiomyoma of the vena cava or iliac vein and, according to our knowledge, only one case of renal vein leiomyoma have been reported. We report a patient with leiomyoma of the left renal vein. Tumour resection was performed by resecting a part of the vein along with the tumour and by ligation of the vein. Left kidney drainage was established through the preserved ovarian vein. In order to establish a diagnosis, careful pathologic examination of multiple sections has to be done and because of the potentially malignant behaviour, long-term follow-up after total resection is necessary.
