Leiomyoma of the Toe: A Case Report.
Abstract: Leiomyomas are common in smooth muscle-rich areas but are extremely rare in distal extremities such as the toes. This case report presents a unique instance of leiomyoma in the fifth toe of a middle-aged male who experienced pain and localized swelling for six months.Diagnostic imaging and histopathological evaluation confirmed the lesion as a leiomyoma. Following surgical excision, the patient had complete symptom resolution, with no recurrence at follow-up.This report highlights the rarity of leiomyoma in the toes, underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation, and provides insights into optimal surgical management. Raising awareness of such atypical presentations can aid clinicians in timely and accurate diagnoses. Keywords: lesion, histopathology, toe pain, soft tissue tumor, leiomyoma.
