Abstract:
A 5-month-old previously healthy girl presented to the emergency department with a large palpable nontender mass in the hypothenar soft tissues of her left hand. US revealed a well-demarcated nonvascular soft tissue mass. Subsequent MR imaging showed a rim-enhancing mass with heterogeneous intrinsic signal characteristics. Abscess and necrotic tumor were the primary considerations. Surgery demonstrated a thrombosed aneurysm continuous with the ulnar artery system. The aneurysm was resected and the ulnar artery was ligated at the wrist.
