Abstract


Intramuscular hemangioma located in the rotator cuff muscles is extremely rare and only few cases have been published. Isolated loss of external rotation of the shoulder with the arm resting at the side is a rare clinical finding in patients presenting with a shoulder problem. In response, we report a case of intramuscular hemangioma of the subscapularis muscle in a 21-year-old male, presented with right shoulder pain and isolated loss of external rotation of the shoulder, and treated with surgical excision.
