title: A case of angioleiomyoma presenting as a pulsatile tumor in the left ring finger.
abstract: Angioleiomyomas in the finger are rare and their preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Most of them are not associated with arteries and their chief complaint does not reveal pulsation tumor. We report a case of the angioleiomyoma in the finger which was misdiagnosed as arteriovenous fistula of tumor, based on the presence of pulsating tumor and angiography finding.
