Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="pde12398-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Angiomyolipomas are benign tumors composed of blood vessels, smooth muscle, and adipose tissue that are frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis. Cutaneous angiomyolipomas are rare and typically present in men in the fifth or sixth decade of life. We present a case of a cutaneous angiomyolipoma masquerading as a neurofibroma in a 13‐year‐old boy with a history of neurofibromatosis type 1.</p> </abstract>
