Mixed cavernous and capillary intraosseous hemangioma of the foot.
Hemangiomas of bone are rare lesions accounting for approximately 1% of all primary bone tumors. Intraosseous hemangiomas of the foot are especially rare, with only sparse reports in the literature. Presented here is a case study of an erosive bony lesion of the midfoot that was microscopically and histopathologically proven to be a mixed cavernous and capillary hemangioma. Eradication of the lesion during diagnostic biopsy obviated further treatment.
