Abstract

Leiomyoma is a benign solitary tumor which is originated from a smooth muscle cell and grows slowly. It is most commonly found in the uterus and can develop anywhere that smooth muscle is present, including esophagus, lower extremity, stroma of GI tract, and pleura. However, the occurrence of leiomyoma in the hand is so uncommon. We present one case of solid type leiomyoma found in the right $4^{th}$ finger of a young woman.

평활근종은 평활근에서 기원하여 서서히 진행하는 양성, 고립성의 종양이다. 발생 장소는 평활근을 포함하는 자궁, 식도, 하지, 소화관 기질, 흉막 등이며, 수부를 포함한 상지에서 발생하는 경우는 매우 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 증례에서는 저자들이 경험한 젊은 여성의 우측 제 4 수지에서 발생한 고형성 평활근종 1예를 보고하고자 한다.
