Intramuscular angioma: a clinicopathological analysis of 74 cases
Key result
Local recurrence occurred in over 50% of patients with benign intramuscular angiomas and was always due to incomplete excision, with no correlation to predominant vessel type or anatomical location.
Population
74 cases of benign intramuscular angiomas, mean age 17.6 years, male:female ratio 1.4:1.

Implication
Histology unreliable for recurrence prediction in intramuscular angiomas; leaves open need for alternative prognostic markers.

Population
74 patients with benign intramuscular angiomas, mean age 17.6 years, analyzed to correlate clinical behavior with histological appearances.
O
Outcome
Local recurrence and its correlation with histological appearances
Local recurrence of intramuscular angiomas is common and driven by incomplete excision rather than histological subtype or anatomical location.
Cite This Study
Beham et al. (1991) conducted an observational in benign intramuscular angiomas (n=74). Predominant vessel type and anatomical localization was evaluated on Local recurrence. Local recurrence occurred in over 50% of patients with benign intramuscular angiomas and was always due to incomplete excision, with no correlation to predominant vessel type or anatomical location.
