Rare case of acral calcified angioleiomyoma with macroscopic calcium extrusion.
Acral calcified angioleiomyoma is an uncommon tumor that presents as a non-descript papule or subcutaneous nodule, classically on the foot. Biopsy or excision is typically the diagnostic method of choice as well as the treatment for these sometimes painful tumors. We report an uncommon clinical presentation of acral calcified angioleiomyoma with considerable extrusion of calcium perforating through the skin.
