title: Delayed presentation of pseudoaneurysm complicating closed humeral fracture: MR diagnosis.
abstract: Vascular injuries resulting from closed fractures of the humerus are rare. We describe two patients who developed unsuspected pseudoaneurysms following closed humeral fracture. Both patients presented with a mass, suspicious for malignancy. In each case, diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging.
