The authors reexamined the files of seven patients dealt with for intramuscular hemangioma of forearm. It concerns five women and two men, between 16 and 39 years old. The average time of consultation was 13 months. The clinical signs were dominated by the development of a generally painless soft mass over the anterior compartment of the forearm and/or the elbow. Two patients presented nervous lesions signs of the ulnar or median nerves. The feeder pedicle was the ulnar artery in five cases and radial artery in two cases. The excision was incomplete in two cases because of the invasion of the ulnar nerve by the hemangioma. With four years average follow-up, the five patients having undergone a complete excision do not present a recurrence and the hand function is excellent. The authors insist on the interest of a preoperative diagnosis with the IRM, which permits to envisage surgical difficulties due to the proximity of vascular and nervous pedicles.

Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIF) is a rare prenatal malignant tumour that occurs in infants and can be difficult to distinguish from vascular malformation or haemangiomas. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for saving both limb and life. We report a 4-month-old infant with CIF of the left forearm and arm which presented with a bleeding ulcer over the swelling.

Background: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a borderline vascular tumor between hemangioma and malignant angiosarcoma. While KHE has strong local invasion with rare spontaneous regression, it is not observed with distant metastasis. Even if KHE is asymptomatic or without the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), bone or joint invasion should clearly receive proactive treatment.
