Deep intramuscular leiomyoma of the lower limb.
The authors present a case of intramuscular leiomyoma of the lower limb. Its location was the internal gastrocnemius muscle of the right leg. The treatment consisted in ablation of the tumor, which was well delimited and had well-defined edges. The evolution after surgery was entirely satisfactory, with no complications or recurrences in the 24 months following the procedure.
