Presentation
Right thigh swelling.
Patient Data
There is a ~17 x 7 x 6.5 cm sized well-defined oval-shaped soft tissue lesion in the right thigh region involving the right iliacus and anterior group of the thigh muscles. It has interspersed fatty areas within it. Marked vascularity is seen within the lesion with prominent dilated arteries from the right external iliac, common, superficial, and deep femoral arteries, and venous drainage into the femoral veins.
The histomorphological features are suggestive of intramuscular angioma.
Case Discussion
Intramuscular angioma (intramuscular haemangioma) is a vascular lesion consisting of benign vascular channels within the skeletal muscle.
