Angioleiomyoma is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm composed of smooth muscle cell and thick walled blood vessels. Angioleiomyomas are most commonly seen in the skin of extremities and it is uncommon in uterus. Broad ligament angioleiomyomas is more uncommon than uterine. Patient with uterine angioleiomyomas usually present with excessive bleeding per vaginum compared to uterine leiomyomas. Abdominal pain is also observed in many cases of angioleiomyomas of pelvic cavity which is believed to be related to ischemia due to vascular contracture. Histologically, angioleiomyomas are divided into 3 subtypes namely – Capillary, Cavernous and Mixed. Here we present a rare case of Capillary Angioleiomyoma of broad ligament in a case of 42 yr old female presented with pelvic mass.
