Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Skeletal muscle hemangiomas are rare in the spectrum of benign vascular neoplasms with an incidence of 0.8%. Majority of intramuscular hemangiomas occur in young adults with no sex predilection. They present as chronic pain and swelling in the muscle,with lower extremities being the most common site of involvement. Diagnostic ultrasound is an appropriate initial imaging modality although MRI is the investigation of choice.Intramuscular hemangioma, an infrequent but important cause of musculoskeletal pain is often difficult to diagnose clinically. More than 90% of skeletal muscle hemangiomas are misdiagnosed due to the location and inadequacy of radiological and cytological findings in achieving a pre-operative diagnosis. This report describes a rare case of 20 year old female who presented with pain and huge swelling in the left thigh which clinically, posed a diagnostic and therapeutic difficulty.
