Circumferential ankle leiomyoma with intratendinous involvement: A case report

Abstract

Leiomyomas are mostly benign soft tissue neoplasms arising from smooth muscle. These neoplasms are infrequent in the lower extremity accounting for about 1.7 % of all benign soft tissue tumors. In the literature, rare case reports of the foot and ankle have presented the leiomyomas with average size of 2 cm. We present a case report of a leiomyoma of the ankle with the size exceeding the reported.
