J Int Adv Otol. 2015 Apr;11(1):95-6. doi: 10.5152/iao.2015.254.

Abstract

Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor originating from the muscularis layer of blood vessel walls. It usually occurs in extremities, and the auricle is not a frequent site for the development of this tumor. We present two cases of auricular angioleiomyoma diagnosed after pathological examination along with a review of literature.
