Abstract

|
Intraneural hemangioma of the median nerve is extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in literature. The researchers present ultrasound (US) and MRI findings of a case of 38-year-old-man with intraneural capillary hemangioma of the median nerve. The patient had a small, palpable mass in the volar aspect of the wrist and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. US showed an infiltrative intraneural mass, without significant blood flow despite a compression test. The researchers initially misdiagnosed this mass as an in-continuity neuroma. The mass showed heterogeneous, but predominantly high signal intensity on T2-weighted image, as well as heterogeneous enhancement. The MRI findings were helpful for correct diagnosis on the retrospective review.
