Angioleiomyomas are benign neoplasms most often located in the subcutaneous tissue of middle-aged individuals and usually confined to the subcuticular and deep dermal layers of the lower extremities. An intracranial site for this tumor is exceedingly rare, with very few reports documenting locations in the neuraxis. To the authors' knowledge the present case represents the first reported instance of an infratentorial angioleiomyoma. The authors conducted a review of selected English-language papers published since 1960 describing well-documented cases of intracranial vascular leiomyomas, with detailed information on the clinical presentation, radiology, pathology, and particulars of surgical management in each case.
血管平滑肌瘤是一种良性肿瘤，最常位于中年人的皮下组织，通常局限于下肢的表皮下和真皮深层。这种肿瘤发生于颅内的情况极为罕见，仅有极少的报告记录其在神经轴内的位置。据作者所知，本病例是幕下血管平滑肌瘤的首例报道。作者回顾了自1960年以来发表的部分英文论文，这些论文描述了有充分记录的颅内血管平滑肌瘤病例，并详细介绍了每个病例的临床表现、放射学、病理学以及手术治疗细节。
