Arteriovenous hemangioma of the foot--a case report.
We report a case of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a heel mass on her left foot. She underwent removal of the mass, which was found to be an arteriovenous hemangioma (AVH). Arteriovenous hemangioma is a rare tumours, especially in the foot which is extremely rare. This tumour should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass presenting in the foot.
