“…Growth and involution of intramuscular hemangiomas might follow a time course similar to infantile hemangiomas, but this point is debated. 7 These masses can persist and present in adolescence as a painful swelling, particularly during periods of strenuous exercise. Diagnostic imaging might prove to be particularly useful in the diagnosis of intramuscular hemangioma, especially if surgical intervention is planned.…”

“…The distinction, however, is difficult because there is a spectrum of disease. 7,10 Histologic evaluation of intramuscular hemangiomas is important because these lesions can be confused with rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, neuroblastoma, and angiosarcoma. 7,10 …”

“…About 45% of the intramuscular hemangioma are found in the lower extremity, 27% in the upper extremity, and the remaining are equally distributed between the head and neck area and the the trunk. Because they are rare types of vascular tumors and are not usually suspected from clincal ndings, they are of interest to surgeons as a cause of diagnostic problems [12] . In this case, the intramuscular hemangioma occurs in the gluteus medius muscle, and demonstrate the similar symptom of lumbar disc herniation.…”

Background: Intramuscular hemangioma is a kind of benign vascular tumors often occurs in the lower extremity, which occurs in the gluteus medius muscle, and was misdiagnosed as lumbar disc herniation is rarely reported.Case presentation: A 36-year-old female who complaint of accidental pain of the left buttock. She was diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation, and accept the treatment. The symptom slightly relieved, but will relapse soon. Until she takes the X-ray and MRI, a mass was found in the gluteus medius muscle, which was suspected of malignant tumor. Then the tumor was resected and the final diagnosis is intramuscular hemangioma. The symptoms disappear completely and not recurrent.Conclusion: There are usually no special symptoms in patients with intramuscular hemangioma, so it is often misdiagnosed, when the treatment effect is not satisfied, the cause should be timely and correctly analyzed.

“…Intramuscular hemangioma occurs as a slowly enlarging mass, and pain is a major symptom in approximately 60% of cases. [11] Features characteristic of hemangiomas like bruit, pulsation, or thrill are generally absent, which always cause the intramuscular hemangioma to be clinically misdiagnosed. [12] The intramuscular hemangioma can go undetected for a very long time until sudden growth leads to pain or functional impairment, such as deformity and limitation of movement.…”

Rationale: Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign vascular neoplasms, merely accounting for 0.8% of all hemangiomas. Moreover, there are few case reports of intramuscular hemangiomas in the upper extremities. Patient concerns: A 24-year-old male patient presented with a 5-year history of intermittent pain of the right elbow joint. He had observed a swelling of the right cubital fossa over the past 2 years, leading to the limitations of elbow extension and forearm pronation. Diagnosis: The patient was diagnosed with intramuscular hemangioma of the biceps brachii. Interventions: Surgical excision of the tumor was performed for this patient and postoperative early functional exercises were permitted. Outcomes: The movements of the right elbow and forearm reached the normal range of motion at 5 weeks after surgery. There was no evidence of recurrence during the 5-month follow-up. Lessons: Optimal management of intramuscular hemangioma is critical, including precise evaluation, good microsurgical technique and early functional exercises, which may result in a satisfying outcome.
