Özet: Hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor and generally diagnosed in childhood. It rarely presents in young adults beyond 12 years of age. Hemangioma can occur anywhere in the body but intramuscular hemangioma accounts for only 0.8% of all hemangiomas. We present a case of a 32- year-old woman with intramuscular cavernous hemangioma in her right ankle. We excised the tumor in total including flexor digitorum longus muscle and transferred the tendon of flexor hallucis longus as a substitute. The result was successful.
