Abstract:
The patient, a 19-year-old female, found that the blue and purple mass was in her left forearm 3 years ago, and the mass gradually increased without obvious pain. It disappeared when pressing. The first diagnosis was "left forearm venous malformation" . During the operation, the boundary of the tumor body was clear and the capsule was complete. The blood supply of the tumor body was very rich. There were many micro capillary networks in the tumor body. It looked like "venous malformation" by general observation. But it was diagnosed as subcutaneous hamartoma by pathological examination. It was very similar to venous malformations by preoperative and intraoperative clinical manifestations, which will lead to misdiagnosis. Therefore, we should carefully handle and broaden the thinking of disease analysis in the similar cases.
