title: [Vascular leiomyoma of the hand. Report of a case and review of literature concerning a rare pathology].
abstract: Vascular leiomyoma is a benign painful tumour that occurs most frequently in the lower extremity. We report an uncommon case in the hand. Only surgical removal of the tumour allows establishing the diagnosis histologically. A review of the literature confirms the rarity of the tumour in the hand. The purpose of this case report is furthermore to consider the differential diagnosis in painful masses of the hand.
