We report the rare case of a histologically proven mixed-type intramuscular haemangioma, adjacent to the periosteum of the radius, that caused a periosteal reaction. We also carried out a review of the literature relevant to this case. A 28-year-old male professional drummer presented with an 8-month history of pain and swelling of the dorsal aspect of the right radius. Diagnosis was established on the basis of plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging, and was confirmed by histology. The lesion was treated solely by resection of the soft-tissue mass. The patient remained asymptomatic 4 years post-operatively, with no radiographic signs of recurrence. From a review of the literature, it is evident that the terminology for haemangiomas causing regional bone changes is unclear. A new classification of the intramuscular haemangiomas is proposed in order to distinguish between lesions that, according to current knowledge, exhibit radiological and clinical areas of overlap.
