Abstract:
Intramuscular haemangiomas of the chest wall are rare. We present the case of a 33-year-old man with an intramuscular haemangioma of the left side of the anterior chest wall located in the left sixth intercostal space. We resected the tumour and surrounding tissue. Histopathological examination of the tumour demonstrated an intramuscular haemangioma of small-vessel type. The patient has been free of recurrence for 5 years after surgery.
