[An unusual case of intramuscular hemangioma].
A case of cavernous-capillary intramuscular haemangioma is reported. The tumour was characterized histologically by a proliferation of capillaries, cavernous blood spaces, along with arterial and venous blood vessels, intermingled with striated muscle fibres and fat tissue. The complex mixture of vessels and the circumscribed margins of the tumour could support a congenital origin.
