Calcification in childhood leiomyoma

J Ledesma-Medina et al. Radiology. 1980 May.

Abstract

Leiomyoma is a benign, smooth-muscle tumor which rarely affects children. Calcification in this tumor is unusual. Two boys, aged three and six years, had large axillary leiomyomas with "mulberry" calcifications similar to those seen in calcified uterine leiomyoma. The lesions did not recur after total surgical excision.
