title: Intramuscular hemangioma of the arm: ultrasonography and pathology features.
abstract: Hemangiomas are between the most frequent soft tissue masses and despite the vascular origin, they do not generate metastases and do not have malignant evolution. They are frequent in childhood and female sex is more frequently affected. If deeply located, these tumors are difficult to diagnose and thus an imaging method is often needed, but conventional radiology is not sufficient. If superficially located, it frequently involves the skin and subcutaneous tissues, but in the deeper layer, they are often intramuscular. Clinical findings of intramuscular hemangioma include swelling, pain and sometimes loss of muscle function.
