Abstract
Starting from a personal observation of primary angioma of the left pectoralis major, investigations on muscle angiomas are resumed, with the purpose of completing the latest statistical analyses. 75 new cases are reviewed which, added to those from Shallow, Eger and Wagner, bring the number of angiomas referred in the literature up to 111. The etiopathogenesis, pathological anatomy and symptomatology of this affection are considererd and the differential diagnosis, still very difficult, is discussed. A diagnostical misunderstanding may be avoided or limited by thinking of this possible occurrence. The numerous means, currently available for an easier diagnosis are exposed, like direct roentgenography, contrast medium roentgenography, angiography, phlebography, exploratory puncture. The various therapeutic systems are finally considered, among which surgery still represents the treatment of choice.
