title: Peripheral nerve hemangioma. Potential for clinical aggressiveness.
abstract: We report a rare cavernous hemangioma that involved the posterior tibial nerve in a 47-year-old woman; this hemangioma demonstrated unusual epineural, perineural, and endoneural tumoral involvement. We describe the potential histogenesis, specific therapy recommendations, and important associated morbidity of this histologically benign lesion.
