Primary angioma of striated muscle is not a particularly rare phenomenon, as Jenkins and Delaney in 1932 found 256 cases described in the literature, and these authors had even excluded about a score of doubtful cases. Since then, a few more cases have been described. Of these 256 cases, 59 showed some deformity or functional impairment of the extremity involved, and a tip-toe deformity was observed in 12 cases. As often it is difficult to establish clinically the cause of such pes equinus, and as a failure to notice the tumor may lead to symptomatic treatment instead of causal therapy, I wish to call attention to this genesis of pes ecyuinus, in connection with the report of a case. The case is that of a girl, 12 years old, who has been troubled with pain and tenderness of the calf of the left leg ever since the age of six years. The soreness was localized to the lateral side of the calf, and the child complained of it even on a fairly light touch-e.g., washing of the leg, touching lightly the leg of a chair, etc. By and by, the parents noticed also some swelling of the calf...
