Brachialis muscle tear mimicking an intramuscular tumor: a report of two cases.
Isolated brachialis muscle tears are rare. The rarity causes the misdiagnosis of this injury. We report 2 cases of males with an isolated brachialis muscle tear who were referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of a neoplasm in the arm. Both of the patients improved completely without radical treatment.
