Osseous Metaplasia Mimicking Long Bone in Intramuscular Vascular Malformation

We describe a case of intramuscular vascular malformation with extensive ossification within the posterior compartment muscles of leg which grossly mimicked long bone leading to equinus deformity of foot. Phleboliths and calcifications are characteristic of vascular malformations, while massive ossification is rare. To our knowledge, no extensive ossified vascular malformation within the leg mu...

Portal Cavernoma Mimicking Pancreatic Malignancy

Portal cavernoma colangiopathy (PCC) is an uncommon cause of portal hypertension, and it is an important differential diagnosis of pancreatic malignancy given the expanded network of collateral vessels. On imaging studies, portal cavernoma can be seen as a hypoechoic mass, possibly associated with distal common bile duct obstruction. Most cases occur in non-cirrhotic patients. During the sympto...
