Intramuscular haemangioma of flexor digitorum brevis
1Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, North District Hospital, 9 Po Kin Road, Sheung Shui, NT, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Abstract:
Intramuscular haemangioma of the foot is rare. We present two cases of intramuscular haemangioma in the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB). All of our patients presented with painful mass in the sole. Subsequent ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging suggested intramuscular haemangioma of FDB muscle. We have performed en-bloc excision in both of our cases, and long-term follow up showed no functional deficit or recurrence of the lesion.

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
