An angioleiomyoma is a benign soft tissue tumour that arises from smooth muscle layer of blood vessels. The true aetiology of these masses is largely unknown and quite often may not be associated with pain. This paper illustrates the occurrence of an angioleiomyoma in the medial arch of the foot, a previously unreported location. Significant delay occurred in the patient being referred for specialist consultation, after attending numerous general practitioners for management. This highlighted the need for ongoing publication for case reports of this nature. The patient underwent excision with no recurrence of the lesion reported at 12 months. Often masses of this type may be left alone. However, when symptomatic simple excision will suffice where no other surrounding complication exists and where the mass is well encapsulated in the sub cutaneous area.
血管平滑肌瘤是一种起源于血管平滑肌层的良性软组织肿瘤。这些肿块的真正病因很大程度上尚不清楚，而且常常可能与疼痛无关。本文阐述了足部内侧弓出现血管平滑肌瘤的情况，这是一个此前未被报道过的部位。该患者在就诊于多位全科医生进行治疗后，转诊至专科会诊时出现了显著延误。这凸显了持续发表此类病例报告的必要性。患者接受了切除手术，术后12个月未报告病变复发。这类肿块通常可以不做处理。然而，当出现症状时，在没有其他周围并发症且肿块在皮下区域被完整包裹的情况下，单纯切除就足够了。
