大腿肌肉內血管瘤之超音波診斷：病例報告

Abstract

We reported a case of a 21 years old male with left distal medial thigh pain and palpable mass after sports injury. The symptoms persisted for four years even with several kinds of treatment. He was referred to our hospital for ultrasonographic examination and we found a cystic lesion with blurred margin and hypoechoic texture, which was highly suspecious of intramuscular hemangioma within left rectus femoris muscle. After further confirmation by magnetic resonance images, he was referred to our plastic surgeon and then received surgical excision. A cavernous hemangioma was demonstrated by the pathologic stain. He got obvious relief of pain one week after the surgery and gradually returned to previous physical activity. After one and half years, he was still free of symptoms and of tumor recurrence.
