We present here a case of 55 yr old male patient with a large swelling over the dorsum of right wrist. Angioleiomyomas occur most commonly in the lower limb followed by the upper limb and trunk and in middle aged females (1, 2, 3, 4). Angioleiomyoma is a solitary form of leiomyoma that usually occurs in the subcutis, and is composed of numerous thick walled vessels which can occur anywhere in the body can be either painful/painless. This case is being presented with respect to the unusual size of the swelling.
