Intramuscular haemangioma of the chest wall. A case report.
Intramuscular haemangiomas of thoracic skeletal muscle are uncommon tumours. They are locally invasive and tend to recur if not completely and widely excised. This report illustrates the diagnosis and management of a 25-year-old man with an intramuscular haemangioma of the chest wall. A literature report on the aetiology and management of these tumours is also given.
