Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare neoplasms of blood vessel origin located inside muscles, which may not be clinically apparent at presentation. We present one such interesting case which was deceiving enough to remain unnoticed on initial short clinical examination and produced a misleading cytological diagnosis up front. High resolution ultrasound gave a clue to the diagnosis of the tumor. More specific radio-labelled RBC scan confirmed its presence, while fusion imaging pin-pointed its location.

It is well established that Technetium99mmethylene diphosphonate (Tc99m MDP) whole body bone scintigraphy (WBBS) can demonstrate multiple lesions with increased radiotracer concentration in involved bone. But it is hard to differentiate multiple benign osteolytic lesions from disseminated bone metastases. Even combined with medical history and multiple imaging results, clinical diagnosis of metastatic lesion remains a challenge. This can affect the treatment procedure. Here the role of skeletal scintigraphy in a case of eosinophilic granuloma is evaluated and concluded that additional attention should be given before diagnosing any case as bone metastases.
