Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign tumors and are mainly affecting the extremity muscles. If they do not cause pain or excessive, the diagnosis may require quite a long time. We present a 23 year old male patient who was admitted to our clinic with a slowly enlarging lession in the left lateral chest wall. Magnetic resonance imaging reported a vascular mass measuring 10x5x4 cm. in the left latissimus dorsi muscle. We performed a complete resection of the tumor with safe margins of the surrounding tissue and the histopathologic examination demonstrated an intramuscular hemangioma of the cavernous type. The patient has been free of recurrence for 1 year after surgery.
