Abstract
Joint deformity secondary to extensive haemangiomatous involvement of the soft tissues has been well described and is easy to diagnose. If the haemangioma is small, localised and within the belly of a muscle the diagnosis is more difficult. In equinus deformity of obscure aetiology localised calf tenderness may be the only diagnostic sign. Three children with equinus deformity caused by a small haemangioma in the calf muscles were treated by simple excision with satisfactory results.Keywords
