“…There are 3 histological types of hemangiomas: Capillary, cavernous and mixed. The majority of IHs are capillary, although, sometimes, mixed IHs may also have a dominant capillary component (17). The present case was a capillary IH, according to the findings of the deep femoral artery arteriography.…”

Abstract. Hemangioma is a common disease; however, intramuscular hemangioma (IH) presenting with a pathological fracture is extremely rare. The present study reports a case of a 46-year-old male patient that suffered from IH of the right thigh, presenting with a pathological femoral fracture. The patient was initially diagnosed with a traumatic femoral fracture, and routine open reduction and internal fixation were performed at a local hospital. However, 20 days subsequent to surgery, gradual swelling and soreness around the incision were observed. The incision eventually ruptured during squatting for bowel movement, which led to extensive blood loss. Based on computed tomography (CT) and deep femoral artery arteriography, IH presenting with a pathological femoral fracture was diagnosed. The patient underwent artery embolization, from which he recovered well. At the 6-month follow-up, the femoral fracture was revealed to have healed, and a CT scan demonstrated no evidence of recurrence; however, continuous observation using CT is required in order to determine the long-term outcome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a misdiagnosed pathological femoral fracture in a patient with IH reported in the English literature.

“…Almost 50% of cases remain silent until the mass grows and then pain suddenly occurs. 7 In this case 28 year old female presented with puffiness or swelling on her neck for a period of 2 years. The tumor then showed a sudden increase in growth.…”

“…Hemangiomas are classified into three groups, depending on their vascular structure: capillary, cavernous and mixed type. 3,7,8,10 A case of a cavernous hemangioma involving the muscles on the right side of the neck is reported here. Surgical treatment was used to achieve a successful outcome.…”

A rare case of cavernous hemangioma of neck mimicking lipoma

Intramuscular hemangiomas of the head and neck are rare congenital vascular tumors and are sparsely reported. Hemangiomas account for approximately 7% of benign tumors and usually present as a mass that suddenly enlarges. Hemangiomas are mostly seen on the trunk and extremities, but can also appear on the head and neck region. A 28 year old female presented in OPD with 5x4 cm mass in Right posterior triangle of neck. CT scan showed 5x4x4 cm swelling in right posterior triangle involving sternocleidomastoid muscle. The mass was totally extracted by surgical intervention and pathological analysis revealed that it was a cavernous hemangioma. The patient’s neck movement returned to normal after surgery.

“…Consistency may vary from soft and diffuse to firm and localized due to their deep location. 4 Diagnosing IMH can be difficult due to its rarity and nonspecific clinical presentation. Plain radiography and FNAC are usually non-diagnostic.…”
