A 34-year-old man suffering from knee pain on the medial side of his right knee underwent knee arthroscopy. The arthroscopy revealed the popliteus tendon with an appearance of three bundles. Three-bundle popliteus tendon is a normal variant finding with no clinical significance.
Hemangioma may occur at any location. Although the imaging findings of hemangioma are well known, it may be difficult to differentiate this entity from other soft-tissue tumors. Intraneural hemangiomas are extremely rare. We present a girl with a painful swelling in the fourth web space of her right hand. Since it was painful, the referring clinician considered the possibility of a glomus tumor. However, demonstration of dilated feeding or draining vessels suggested the diagnosis of hemangioma. At surgery a hemangioma of the ulnar digital nerve of the ring finger was resected marginally.
