An unusual presentation of ossified intramuscular hemangioma: a case report (original) (raw)

Intramuscular ossified hemangioma

Skeletal Radiology, 1995

A healthy 31-year-old man presented with a painful mass in his left thigh that had been present for over 1.5 years and had begun to grow in the last 3 months. He denied any previous history of trauma. Physical examination revealed a tender, firm mass in the lateral aspect of the left thigh measuring approximately 4x3 cm. No inflammatory signs, adenopathies, or skeletal de

Intramuscular Cavernous Hemangioma of the Vastus Intermedius Muscle with Knee Joint Extension: A Case Report

2019

Intramuscular Hemangiomas (IHs) are benign vascular neoplasms usually arising within the striated muscle of the trunk and extremities. These account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. IH in the distal thigh with extension to knee joint is rarely reported, and may be confused with other lesions. A case of cavernous intramuscular hemangioma that involved distal third of left thigh with extension to knee joint in a 10-year-old girl is reported in this paper. The girl initially presented with sclerotic bony changes in imaging and slow growth during 4 years which at firt was misdiagnosed as osteoid osteoma for a long time. The patient’s parents refused the recommended biopsy of the lesion. Four years later, after the onset of the patient’s complaints of pain and swelling in the distal thigh, another survey with Doppler ultrasound and MRI was done. The tumor was finally diagnosed as hemangioma, and was completely resected. Histopathology confirmed a cavernous hemangioma with free margin...

Intramuscular Hemangiomas

Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach, 2013

invEstigation X-ray followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the typical imaging sequence for exploration of extremity complaints and will most often make the diagnosis. MRI is the diagnostic procedure of choice, as it reliably differentiates Context: Intramuscular hemangiomas are common in the general population and often present at medical and surgical clinics. Unfortunately, unfamiliarity with these lesions has led to a high percentage of misdiagnoses, inappropriate workup, and unnecessary referrals.

Intramuscular hemangioma of the foot: A case report and review of the literature

Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2010

Intramuscular hemangiomas (IHs) are rare benign neoplasms usually seen in children, adolescents and young adults. Although lower extremities are the commonest localization, the localization at the foot is extremely rare since only a few cases have been reported. We report a case of mixed type IH of the flexor digitorum brevis muscle in a 12-year-old boy who was treated with surgical excision, with wide surgical margins.

Intramuscular hemangioma

Journal of the Faculty of Medicine Baghdad

Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare asymptomatic angiomatous tumors , showing a slow growing pattern . We reported a rare case of biceps muscle hemangioma in a 22-years-old man who presented with progressive swelling following a simple trauma four years ago , after examining the patient with ultrasound (US) ,computed tomography( CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which was confirmed by histopathology later on .

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.
