title: Intramuscular haemangioma of flexor digitorum brevis.
abstract: Intramuscular haemangioma of the foot is rare. We present two cases of intramuscular haemangioma in the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB). All of our patients presented with painful mass in the sole. Subsequent ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging suggested intramuscular haemangioma of FDB muscle. We have performed en-bloc excision in both of our cases, and long-term follow up showed no functional deficit or recurrence of the lesion.
