Although these lesions are rarely encountered in the foot, the lower extremity is the most common site of occurrence. An angioleiomyoma typically manifests as a small, painful, solitary, mobile lesion. This case report describes a lateral retromalleolar para\u2013Achilles tendon insertional location for a moderately sized immobile solid tumefaction in the subcutaneous tissues. The lesion was nonpainful and progressively enlarged over 5 years. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the nodular lesion was subsequently diagnosed histopathologically as an angioleiomyoma. Owing to the ambiguous nature of the clinical findings, angioleiomyoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of lower-extremity soft-tissue manifestations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7547\/16-044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,26]],"date-time":"2017-06-26T16:11:52Z","timestamp":1498493512000},"page":"244-247","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Angioleiomyoma
