| Abstract | Background Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor arising from smooth muscle that is commonly found in the foot and ankle. This systematic review aims to synthesize the limited data from numerous case reports and case series, which often involve small sample sizes, to provide orthopaedic surgeons with a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis and management of foot and ankle angioleiomyoma. Methods This systematic review, performed following the PRISMA guidelines, brings updated information for the diagnosis and management of foot and ankle angioleiomyoma. 62 relevant studies were included. We analysed patient demographics, clinical characteristics, diagnostic workup, treatment, and clinical outcomes. Results Angioleiomyoma is more prevalent in middle-aged women, and pain is the most common symptom. Its diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity and nonspecific presentation. Plain radiographs, MRI, and ultrasound of the foot and ankle are the most common preoperative imaging exams. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice with a low rate of both recurrence and malignant transformation. Conclusions This review emphasizes the importance of considering angioleiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of foot and ankle tumors and highlights the need for a comprehensive workup to improve diagnostic accuracy and ensure appropriate management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
