Benign Calcified Axillary Leiomyoma in a Young Male: A Case Report
Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors commonly originating from the uterus and gastrointestinal tract. Their appearance in extrauterine locations, such as the axilla, is rare, presenting a diagnostic challenge. Within this report, we highlight a case of a longstanding leiomyoma within the right axilla, associated imaging, and histopathological findings, as well as the prognosis of a 30-year-old male patient.
