Abstract

Background: Cutaneous angiomyolipoma (CAML) is a rare benign tumour originating from the perivascular cells of the smooth muscle and fat. Owing to its rarity, clinical presentation, size, and location, we report a case of interest.

Case report: A 59-years-old male patient from the Etawah district presented with a lump in the anterior abdominal wall of the umbilical region for the past 5 months. The patient was asymptomatic, but was concerned about the nature of the lump and agreed to undergo excision of the lump, which revealed angiomyolipoma of the anterior abdominal wall on histopathological examination. The patient experienced no complications from the excision and was discharged from the hospital. This particular subsite is rare and lacks association with tuberous sclerosis, a clinical entity commonly associated with renal angiomyolipoma

Conclusion: The final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology based on the traditional criteria of the presence of blood vessels, fat tissue, and smooth muscles. Surgery is the preferred course of treatment, and complete resection is important because incomplete resection may cause recurrence.
