Case: Cavernous hemangioma, an uncommon benign vascular lesion, can affect different joints. It generally presents as atraumatic swelling over the joint with normal radiographic findings. We present a case of a healthy 5-year-old girl with chronic knee pain over the anteromedial aspect following minor trauma. Conclusion: The patient underwent all baseline blood investigations and plain radiograph of her knee, all of which were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hemangioma. Surgical excision was performed and histological studies confirmed a cavernous hemangioma. Delayed diagnosis may increase the risk of invading and damaging the joint resulting in further morbidities.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
