| Popis: | Deeply situated soft-tissue haemangioma sometimes causes periosteal new bone formation on the neighbouring bone. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the aetiological factors for this phenomenon. We studied 25 patients with soft-tissue haemangioma on whom plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed. We examined the presence or absence of periosteal new bone formation, haemangioma-bone distance, size of haemangioma and pain. Periosteal new bone formation was seen in 12 of 25 patients. In these 12 patients, the haemangioma was adjacent to the bone in 11 patients, while the haemangioma-bone distance was 4 mm in the other patient. In the remaining 13 patients who had no periosteal new bone formation, the haemangioma-bone distance was 5-27 mm. Pain in the former group was stronger than that in the latter group, the difference being statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in size of haemangioma between the two groups. Therefore, the main factor that induces periosteal new bone formation on the neighbouring bone was not the size of haemangioma, but the distance between the haemangioma and the bone. |
