An unusual presentation of ossified intramuscular hemangioma: a case report (original) (raw)
Intramuscular hemangioma presenting with multiple phleboliths: a case report
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, 2013
A rare case of intramuscular hemangioma of the masseter muscle with multiple phleboliths is described, highlighting features evident in plain radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 21-year-old woman presented with a complaint of swelling of the right masseter muscle. A plain radiograph from the soft tissue of the right cheek showed a large number of round, target-like radiopacities that varied in size. Ultrasound revealed a lobulated cystic lesion in the right masseter muscle with increased echogenicity. MRI showed a space-occupying lesion in the right masseter muscle, which was isointense on T1-weighted image close to the muscle tissue and hyperintense on T2-weighted image, containing fields with no signal septations. A plain soft tissue radiograph can demonstrate phleboliths and aid in the diagnosis of an intramuscular hemangioma. In addition, nonionized techniques such as ultrasound and MRI can provide useful information to clinicians regarding the location of calcifications and the structure of masses.
Intraosseous Hemangioma: A Case Report and Review of Literature
International Journal of Head and Neck Surgery, 2013
Intraosseous vascular lesions are rare conditions, comprising only 0.5 to 1% of all intraosseous hemangioma tumors. They mainly occur in the second decade of life especially in female. The most common locations are the vertebral column and skull; nevertheless, the mandible is quite rare location. Hemangiomas are benign vasoformative neoplasms of endothelial origin. However, the origin of central hemangioma is debatable. Cavernous hemangioma produces dilemma in diagnosis with central gaint cell tumor, aneurysmal bone cyst, ameloblastoma, cystic lesion such as residual cyst, keratocyst and fibro-osseous lesions, such as fibrous dysplasia being frontier in clinical diagnosis. Here, we report a 6 years male with cavernous hemangioma of mandible.
Intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas arising from masseter muscles
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Investigations, 2012
Tüm hemanjiyomların %1'ini oluşturan intramuskuler hemanjiyomalar nadir görülen benign tümörlerdir. Sıklıkla gövde ve ekstremitelerde görülebilmektedir. Masseter ve trapezius kaslarından köken alabilen bu oluşumlar baş ve boyun bölgesinde nadir izlenmektedir. Hastalar genellikle parotis ve yüz bölgesinde zamanla büyüyen ağrısız kitleden şikayet eder. Lokalizasyonundan dolayı intramuskuler hemanjiyomaların %90'ında klinik olarak yanlışlıkla parotis kitlesi tanısı konulabilir. Bu kitlelerin tanısında görüntüleme yöntemleri önemli yer tutar.
Rare Case of Intramuscular Hemangioma in the Omohyoid Muscle
International Journal of General Medicine & Surgery
Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors which account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas (though their true incidence and prevalence are difficult to calculate due to common misdiagnosis secondary to its diverse clinical presentation, deep location and rarity). They predominantly affect the trunk and extremities but, in rare occasions, can be found in the head and neck region mostly involving the masseter and trapezius muscles. An intramuscular hemangioma in the omohyoid muscle is considered an extremely rare finding. This case report is that of a 26-year-old Afro-Caribbean male who presented with a painless mass on the right anterior aspect of the neck which was investigated using ultrasound and MRI and later confirmed as an intramuscular hemangioma in the omohyoid muscle by biopsy and histopathology.
Huge Intramuscular Cavernous Hemangioma involving SCM, Trapezius and scalene anterior: A Case Report
Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol , 2017
Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign neoplasms accounting for <1% of all hemangiomas and <20% are found in head and neck area. The muscle most frequently involved is the masseter muscle and very few cases have been reported for the occurrence of these hemangioma in the Sternocleidomastoid, trapezius muscle and scalene anterior muscles. Here, we are presenting a case report of intramuscular hemangioma involving these muscles in a 10-years-old boy.
Cavernous hemangioma of the left forearm
Rare Tumors, 2015
Cavernous hemangiomas are benign hamartomatous proliferation of endothelial tissues. They can arise virtually anywhere in the body and do not contain tissues native to the organ or structure in which they are located. Contrary to what is seen in capillary hemangiomas and the cavernous cutaneous variety, intramuscular hemangiomas almost always never regress. We report a case of intramuscular cavernous hemangioma in an 18year-old male Nigerian with swelling in the left forearm of 9 years duration. The swelling progressively increased in size and nearly involved the entire forearm with occasional pain and no preceding history of trauma. Preoperative plain radiographs showed an illdefined soft tissue swelling with multiple calcifications or phleboliths. Surgical excision with ligation of feeding vessels was done and histology confirmed the diagnosis with free margin of excision. Post-operative clinical improvement was marked.
Intramuscular hemangioma of masseter muscle: A report of unique case
Journal of Oral Health and Oral Epidemiology, 2018
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Even though hemangiomas are prevalent tumors in the region of head and neck, they are comparatively rare inside the mouth and less frequently detected by dental professionals. Therefore, the aim of this case report is to present such a rare variation of hemangioma manifested within the substance of the masseter muscle. CASE REPORT: We report a unique case of intramuscular hemangioma of masseter muscle in a 26-year-old woman complained of growth and swelling in the right cheek since 6-8 months before. The growth was surgical excised and diagnosed histopathologically as intramuscular mixed capillary with cavernous hemangioma. CONCLUSION: Hemangiomas are rarely seen intramuscularly. This case presents an intramuscular hemangioma occurring within the masseter muscle. Early detection and management is required in order to avoid the potential complications associated with it.
Journal of Orthopaedic Case reports, 2022
Osseous hemangioma accounts for <1% of all primary skeletal neoplasms with about 75% in the vertebra or skull and 15-20% in the scapula, ribs, clavicle, and pelvic bones [2, 3, 4, 5]. Occurrence in long tubular bones is rather rare. The lesion is asymptomatic most of the time but may produce symptoms in cases of hematoma formation, epidural extension, vertebral body expansion, or pathological fracture [6, 7, 8]. On plain radiography, vertebral hemangiomas show the typical corduroy appearance, presenting with thickened vertical trabeculae of bone. On computed tomography (CT) images, a typical "polka dot" pattern is seen with small foci of sclerosis which stands for the thickened, vertically oriented bony trabeculae, and areas of low-density soft tissues or abnormal vessels and lipid are intervening between the vertically-oriented
Intraarticular Synovial Cavernous Hemangioma: a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Shafa Orthopedic Journal, 2014
Hemangiomas are benign vascular malformations that closely resemble normal blood vessels. Synovial hemangioma is a well-recognized but rare entity. It originates from synovial lining, with typical intraarticular variety that almost invariably occurs in knee joint. We report an intraarticular synovial cavernous hemangioma, along with its clinical course and management.
Intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus muscle: A rare case report presentation and diagnosis
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2020
INTRODUCTION: intramuscular hemangioma (IMH) is a relatively rare benign vascular tumor of the skeletal muscles. It shows less than 1 % of all soft tissue hemangiomas. In the head and neck area, it occurs usually in the masseter muscle followed by temporalis and sternocleidomastoid muscles. PRESENTATION OF CASE: we present a case of 25-year-old male patient with a chief complaint of slowly growing facial swelling in the left zygomatic area. Clinical, imaging and histopathological evaluation lead to the diagnosis of intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus major muscle. DISCUSSION: IMH in the zygomaticus muscle is very rare; hence, the clinical diagnosis of IMH is challenging. Different diagnostic procedures can be used such as CT and MRI. In addition, the ideal therapy for esthetic disfiguring IMH in the head are is the complete surgical excision of the lesion. Through the review of literature and to our knowledge this case is the first report of intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus muscle. CONCLUSION: IMHs are rare in the head and neck area and must be considered in differential diagnosis of isolated muscle mass in this region.
