OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to describe the MRI findings of angioleiomyoma in the soft tissue of the extremities. CONCLUSION: Angioleiomyoma should be considered a possible diagnosis when a well-demarcated subcutaneous mass of isointense signal on T1-weighted images, heterogeneous high signal intensity on T2-weighted images with homogeneous strong enhancement, and an adjacent tortuous vascular structure is seen in the extremities.
