[Infiltrating intramuscular hemangioma]

The infiltrating intramuscular hemangioma has a high recurrence rate in case of incomplete resection. NMR is presently the most suitable diagnostic procedure to secure the diagnosis and to demonstrate the extent of infiltrative growth of this relatively rare soft tissue tumor. The case of an infiltrating hemangioma of the thigh in a 9 year old girl is presented, highlighting diagnostic and different treatment modalities.
