Abstract

Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the vascular smooth muscle (tunica media) and characterized by either a painful or painless, solitary subcutaneous nodule occurring most often in the lower extremity. We report a case of intense FDG uptake in the angioleiomyoma of right lower leg on $^{18}F-FDG$ PET/CT.
