Abstract

We presented a case of chronic expanding hematoma right elbow which was localized to right cubital fossa. The hematoma developed gradually in the cubital fossa after blunt injury to the elbow. Patient had a painless full range of motion of the affected elbow. Radiographic examination of elbow was normal. Excisional biopsy was done. A well circumscribed mass, reddish brown in colour, oval in shape, soft in consistency with a fibrous pseudo-capsule was resected. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of the resected specimen.
