Sonographic diagnosis of intramuscular hemangiomas.
This article reports 10 cases of intramuscular hemangiomas diagnosed by ultrasound. The results obtained demonstrated that the intramuscular hemangiomas were revealed sonographically as a spindle-shaped or ellipse-shaped mass with a mixed echo structure in the skeletal muscle, and usually with small calcifications. The solid parts of the tumor most commonly have a medium echogenicity, but few hyperechogenicity. The cavity or sinus containing blood has a hypoecho or echo-free structure.
