, Frank E. Johnson, M.D.Abstract |
Intramuscular cavernous hemagiomas represent <1% of all hemangiomas and consist of benign proliferations of blood vessels. Typical presentation is an enlarging painful soft-tissue mass without cutaneous changes.

Phleboliths on radiograph are a specific finding for cavernous hemangioma. Definitive treatment of this condition is surgical excision.
