Ossified intramuscular hemangioma: multimodality imaging findings.
Whereas calcification of hemangiomas is common, ossification is unusual. Multimodality imaging findings of a rare case of an ossified intramuscular hemangioma in the calf of a 24-year-old woman are presented. Radiographic, computed tomographic, magnetic resonance (MR), scintigraphic, and histologic features of this case are reported. The radiologic differential diagnosis of an ossified mass in soft tissue is also discussed.
