Primary angioleiomyoma of the iliac bone: clinical pathological study of one case with flow cytometric DNA content and S-phase fraction analysis

We report on a primary angioleiomyoma of the right iliac bone in a 28-year- old woman. To our knowledge this is the 16th reported case of a primary lei omyoma of bone, the 9th reported primary osseous angioleiomyoma and the fir st description of a primary angioleiomyoma located in the iliac bone. The p roblems of differentiating primary leiomyoma of bone from primary or metast atic leiomyosarcoma of bone are stressed. A literature review of primary le iomyomas of bone is presented.
