Abstract:   (1581 Views)
Intramuscular hemangioma is a rare type of hemangioma. Ossification of an intramuscular hemangioma is even rarer. This study reports the case of a young man admitted to our hospital with complaints of pain and swelling in the right buttock. We were unable to confirm the type of tumor on evaluation of X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and needle biopsy examination. The mass was excised and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an ossified intramuscular hemangioma with immature ossification. This case report demonstrates that the diagnosis of an immature ossified intramuscular hemangioma should be considered as differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a soft tissue tumor.
Keywords: Intramuscular hemangioma, ossification, magnetic resonance imaging.
