Angioleiomyomas are benign tumors composed of smooth muscle and vascular endothelium. While infrequent in overall prevalence, they are exceptionally rare in the head and neck. Herein, we describe the case of a 65-year-old female who was found to have an angioleiomyoma of the right nasolacrimal duct. Endoscopic excision of the lesion along with medial maxillectomy and dacryocystorhinostomy was performed without complication. The current report is one of the few reported cases of angioleiomyoma of the lacrimal drainage system.
血管平滑肌瘤是由平滑肌和血管内皮组成的良性肿瘤。虽然总体发病率不高,但在头颈部极为罕见。在此,我们描述了一例65岁女性患者,其右侧鼻泪管发现有血管平滑肌瘤。通过内镜切除病变组织,并进行上颌骨内侧切除术和泪囊鼻腔吻合术,未出现并发症。本报告是泪道系统血管平滑肌瘤少数已报道的病例之一。
