Abstract
Leiomyoma, a benign nonstriated muscle tumor, is rare in limbs and rarer in the hands. Its common localization is in the uterus. We present a case of leiomyoma of the right middle finger in a 59 years old man. Surgical excision was performed with a good recovery and no signs of recurrence at a year follow up. We discuss diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic aspects of this benign tumor with review of literature.
KEY WORDS: Excision, Finger, Leiomyoma
