Abstract EN
Background.
Deep somatic leiomyomas arising in skeletal muscle are extremely rare in children, especially in the extremities.
Around half of them show calcifications.
We present a rare case of a calcified leiomyoma of the distal forearm in a child.
Case Summary.
A seven-year-old boy presented with right distal forearm and wrist pain with restricted supination for 4 years.
X-ray showed ring and arc calcifications in the distal forearm at the interosseous area.
MRI also confirmed a well-defined soft tissue lesion with areas of calcifications.
A diagnosis of a cartilage-forming lesion or a peripheral nerve sheath tumour was suggested.
The lesion was completely excised.
Histology showed a lesion composed of intersecting fascicles of spindle cells with stromal calcification having immunohistochemical features of a leiomyoma.
Conclusion.
Although soft tissue calcifications can be seen in a plethora of conditions seen in daily orthopaedic practise, a high index of suspicion should be maintained for rare conditions like deep somatic leiomyoma.
