Hemangioma of the Scapula Associated with High Scapular Deformity: Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

A hemangioma doesn't often involve the scapula and concurrent high scapular deformity is also too. We present a case of capillary left scapula hemangioma at its superior angle with Cavendish grade 2 high scapular deformity treated by surgical intervention. Excision of the hemangioma and resection of the fibrous band attached to the superior angle of the scapula resulted in symptomatic and cosmetic improvement. Even though the causality between the two lesions is not clear, we cannot exclude the possibility that the hemangioma contributed to the development of high scapular deformity.
