    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Diagnostic Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Accessory soleus muscle is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • Tumor-like masses in pediatric ankles can present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A 13-year-old male presented with a palpable mass in the ankle.
    • Electromyography (EMG) was utilized for diagnostic evaluation.
    • The mass was associated with an accessory soleus muscle.

    Findings:

    • The accessory soleus muscle was identified as the source of the tumor-like mass.
    • Surgical intervention was performed for treatment.
    • Histopathological analysis confirmed the benign nature of the mass.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering congenital anomalies in pediatric ankle masses.
    • EMG is a valuable tool in diagnosing such conditions.
    • Surgical excision provides a definitive treatment option for symptomatic accessory soleus muscle masses.
