Intramuscular deep forearm hemangioma aggravated by a traumatic event: A case report

INTRODUCTION: Hemangioma is a unique benign vascular tumor. Intramuscular seated lesions tend to cause pain, swelling, and disability in adulthood, especially after a traumatic aggravating event. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A young, healthy female suffered a previous trauma to her left forearm. Persistent pain developed after it with intermediate swelling that turned out to be a deep-seated hemangioma, which was treated successfully with excision. DISCUSSION: Though it is often a benign-acting congenital lesion, with several treatment methods, early diagnosis of hemangioma is a dilemma. Expelling other similar malignant lesions is essential. Surgical intervention could be necessary and effective in specific indications. CONCLUSION: Adequately planned surgery can successfully manage traumatic aggravated intramuscular hemangioma.
