“…11,12 Intramuscular haemangiomas progressively enlarge but never metastasize. 2 There is a 9% recurrence rate after surgical excision. 1 Plain radiographs of soft tissue haemangioma may appear only as a non-specific soft tissue mass and in 25-30% of cases it shows phlebolith.…”

Haemangiomas are one of the most common soft tissue tumours comprising 7% of all benign tumours. Vascular malformations are often confused with haemangiomas. The etiology is unknown. They are common in infancy and childhood and females are more commonly affected. These tumours may be superficial or deep, and deeply seated lesions, are difficult to diagnose clinically and hence require radiographic assessment. Deep-seated haemangiomas are usually intramuscular, although intra-articular synovial haemangiomas also occur. The commonest anatomic site is the lower limb.Despite their vascular origin, haemangiomas do not metastasize or undergo malignant transformation. Many treatment modalities for the symptomatic haemangioma are available but surgical excision is the preferred treatment. We present an unusual case of a dumb-bell intramuscular haemangioma involving the triceps and extending into the cubital tunnel of the elbow, distinguish between haemangiomas and vascular malformations and emphasize the importance of surgical technique in ensuring ulnar nerve safety.

“…1 The etiology is unclear but possibly congenital in origin. [1][2][3][4][5] Haemangiomas commonly occur in the skin or subcutaneous tissues followed by the deep tissues, occasionally are intramuscular and rarely within bone. There is a general agreement that females are more commonly affected than males.…”

“…Open biopsy is rarely contemplated because of the danger of bleeding. 5 The treatment options of intramuscular hemangioma in the temporal muscle should be individualized with respect to localization, depth of invasion, vascularization, and clinical symptoms, which are simple observation, irradiation, injection of sclerosing agents, corticosteroid treatment, embolization, and surgical excision. Irradiation is not recommended because the amount of radiation needed is very high and has severe potential complications especially in children.…”

“…Minor trauma or excessive muscle contraction are believed to play a role in the growth of the mass by stimulating blood flow in the preexisting tumor. 5 We encountered a patient with a cavernous hemangioma located in the temporalis muscle. …”

Hemangiomas are frequent benign hereditary vascular tumors. Intramuscular hemangiomas, a distinctive type of hemangioma occurring within the skeletal muscle, account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. They occur more often in the trunk and extremity muscles, whereas the involvement of the temporal muscle is extremely rare. A 34-year-old man with a mass in his left temporal fossa was admitted. Computed tomographic scan showed no erosion of the bone, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ovoid mass within the temporal muscle. The lesion was surgically excised, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. The patient was not able to lift his left eyebrow right after the surgery. Two months after the surgery, the patient recovered from paralysis, and there was no recurrence of tumor 12 months after the surgery. We report the 27th cavernous hemangioma case of the temporalis muscle. Care must be taken to avoid possible stretch injury to facial nerve branches while resecting these tumors.

“…A mass is found in 98% of cases. 8 The mass may be pulsatile or have a bruit. Contraction of the muscle may increase the size of the lesion.…”
