“…Many reports have stated that intramuscular hemangiomas can occur in various sites within the muscles of the trunk and the upper and lower limbs, with predominance in the thigh muscles. 9 – 11 About 45% of intramuscular hemangioma are found in the lower extremities, 27% are found in the upper extremities, and the remaining are equally distributed between the head and neck area and the trunk. Because intramuscular hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors and are not usually suspected based on clinical findings, they are of interest to surgeons as a cause of diagnostic problems.…”

An intramuscular hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that often occurs in the lower extremities. We herein report a rare case of an intramuscular hemangioma that occurred in the gluteus medius muscle and was misdiagnosed as lumbar disc herniation. A 36-year-old woman presented with incidental and infrequent pain of the left buttock. She was diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation and underwent treatment. Although her pain was slightly relieved, relapse soon occurred. X-ray examination and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the gluteus medius muscle. The mass was suspected to be a malignant tumor and was therefore resected. The final diagnosis was an intramuscular hemangioma. Her pain completely disappeared thereafter and did not recur. Patients with intramuscular hemangiomas usually have no specific symptoms; therefore, this tumor is often misdiagnosed. When a satisfactory treatment effect is not obtained, the diagnosis should be reassessed in a timely manner.

Background: Intramuscular hemangioma is a kind of benign vascular tumors often occurs in the lower extremity, which occurs in the gluteus medius muscle, and was misdiagnosed as lumbar disc herniation is rarely reported.Case presentation: A 36-year-old female who complaint of accidental pain of the left buttock. She was diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation, and accept the treatment. The symptom slightly relieved, but will relapse soon. Until she takes the X-ray and MRI, a mass was found in the gluteus medius muscle, which was suspected of malignant tumor. Then the tumor was resected and the final diagnosis is intramuscular hemangioma. The symptoms disappear completely and not recurrent.Conclusion: There are usually no special symptoms in patients with intramuscular hemangioma, so it is often misdiagnosed, when the treatment effect is not satisfied, the cause should be timely and correctly analyzed.

“…Histologically, intramuscular hemangiomas can be classified into 4 types on the basis of the vessel size: cavernous, capillary, venous, and mixed. [13] The cavernous and mixed subtypes are commonly related to a longer history of symptoms. The present case was of the mixed subtype, and a 5-year history of pain was observed in this patient.…”

Rationale: Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign vascular neoplasms, merely accounting for 0.8% of all hemangiomas. Moreover, there are few case reports of intramuscular hemangiomas in the upper extremities. Patient concerns: A 24-year-old male patient presented with a 5-year history of intermittent pain of the right elbow joint. He had observed a swelling of the right cubital fossa over the past 2 years, leading to the limitations of elbow extension and forearm pronation. Diagnosis: The patient was diagnosed with intramuscular hemangioma of the biceps brachii. Interventions: Surgical excision of the tumor was performed for this patient and postoperative early functional exercises were permitted. Outcomes: The movements of the right elbow and forearm reached the normal range of motion at 5 weeks after surgery. There was no evidence of recurrence during the 5-month follow-up. Lessons: Optimal management of intramuscular hemangioma is critical, including precise evaluation, good microsurgical technique and early functional exercises, which may result in a satisfying outcome.
