Abstract

Presented in this paper are the results of ultrasonic examination in 29 cases of hemangiomas of soft tissue. Out of the 29 cases, 20 lesions were revealed as heterogeneous echoic masses; 6 as anechoic areas and 3 as solid masses. Hyperechoic foci of calcifications or phlebolithes were detected in 16 cases. Intramuscular hemangiomas were sonographically diagnosed in 15 patients; hemangiomas of soft tissue in 8, pseudoaneurysm in 3; deformity of the arteriovenous fistula in 1 and hemangiosarcoma in 2.
