Intra-Articular Synovial Haemangioma of the Elbow in an Adolescent Male.

Abstract

Intra-articular haemangiomas are rare phenomena and are difficult to diagnose and manage. We describe a case in which a haemangioma was found at the time of elbow arthroscopy in an adolescent male. The case highlights the advantage of early arthroscopic assessment and also that synovial haemangiomas must be considered as a rare differential diagnosis in unexplained elbow and joint pain.
