Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vascular malformations may typically present with palpable mass that can be either asymptomatic or can present with symptoms including swelling and pain. On rare occasions, vascular malformation of muscle may produce joint deformities caused by contracture of the involved muscle. When vascular malformation involves the flexor muscle of the leg, ankle equinus deformity may occur. However, there are no reports of toe deformities secondary to intermuscular or intramuscular vascular malformations of flexor muscles of toe. Thus, we report a case of vascular malformation of flexor hallucis longus muscle with flexion contracture of toes in a 40-yearsold woman who was treated with surgical excision.
