Abstract
- Angioleiomyoma is a benign solitary tumor that arises from muscle layer of the vein walls and mainly develops on the lower extremities of middle-aged women. But it is rarely found on the lip. We report an unusual case of angioleiomyoma in a 27-year-old male who showed an asymptomatic, 0.3 X 0.5 cm sized mass on the upper lip for 3 years. Histopathologically, various sized, numerous vessels and bundles of smooth muscle fibers were observed in the dermis.
