<b>Osseous Change Adjacent to Soft-Tissue Hemangiomas of the Extremities:</b> Correlation with Lesion Size and Proximity to Bone

Abstract

Soft-tissue hemangiomas of the extremities frequently result in adjacent osseous change that can be categorized as either periosteal, cortical, or medullary. Only medullary changes correspond with hemangioma size, whereas all three categories of change correlate with the proximity of the hemangioma to the adjacent bone. The presence of osseous change does not correlate with patient symptomatology.
