Abstract

This case report showed a young soldier complained of low back pain during military training. Intramuscular hematoma accompanied by the lumbar compression fracture was observed in computed tomography. However, the possibility of intramuscular tumors could not be ruled out through additional examinations, and thus surgically removed, and was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma. This report is a rare and instructive case in which a hemangioma mimicked bleeding with the lumbar fracture.
