Equinus deformity and haemangioma of calf muscle.

Abstract

As this infrequent complication of proximal gastric vagotomy causes morbidity and mortality methods for its prevention should be considered. Plication of the lesser curve to bury and reperitonealize the bared area may be effective. We thank Mr. K. W. Reynolds for permission to study this patient, who was under his care.

Differential Diagnosis of a Soft Tissue Mass in the Calf

“…It should be noted that in each of these cases, as well as in this case, the soft tissue masses were present for a few years prior to diagnosis. The cases reported by Nagira et al 19 and Wang et al 27 demonstrated the presence of ossification with the hemangioma, while the cases reported by Wang et al, 27 Clarke, 9 and Sutherland 25 were reported to be associated with equinus deformity. Neither ossification nor equinus were found to be present in this case.…”

“…Nagira et al, 19 Banerjee, 3 Wang et al, 27 Clarke, 9 and Sutherland 25 all reported cases of hemangiomas in the calf muscle. Kurkcuoglu et al 15 also reported a hemangioma in the pectoralis muscle of an 18-year-old girl, which had manifested as a slowly growing mass over a 3-year period.…”
