Summary:Intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas represent less than 1% of all hemangiomas. Typical presentation is a soft-tissue mass and/or pain without cutaneous changes.

We describe a case of ossified intramuscular hemangioma of quadriceps presented with painless knee extension contracture and thigh mass.
