Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Radiology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Accessory soleus muscle is an uncommon congenital anatomical variant.
  • It typically manifests as a soft-tissue mass in the posteromedial ankle.
  • Symptoms usually appear in the second or third decade of life.

Observation:

  • A case of a 30-year-old patient with accessory soleus muscle is presented.
  • Clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging findings are detailed.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features are specifically described.

Findings:

  • Accessory soleus muscle should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ankle soft-tissue swelling.
  • Computed tomography (CT), MRI, and electromyography (EMG) are crucial for diagnosis.

  • Diagnosis can often be achieved without the need for surgical intervention.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of this rare condition can improve diagnostic accuracy.
    • Non-invasive imaging techniques are key to identifying accessory soleus muscle.
    • This knowledge aids clinicians in managing patients with ankle masses and swelling.
