Abstract
ntramuscular hemangiomas (IMHs) are rare benign tumors affecting mainly the muscles of the upper and lower extremities; even rarer are those affecting the chest wall.1,2 If they do not cause swelling and pain, they may go unnoticed for many years and an accurate preoperative diagnosis may be difficult. 2 We report the case of a patient with IMH of the chest wall that went undiagnosed for a long time and was completely resected after 5 years.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
