A 9-year-old, otherwise healthy girl presented with a 5-year history of pain in her right calf with retarded growth and development of an equinus contracture of her right leg. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregular mass with heterogeneous enhancement after contrast in her right triceps surae muscles, especially the soleus. Histological studies of this triceps surae muscle tissue revealed a haphazard distribution of adipose and connective tissue, striated and smooth muscle cells, vessels and lymphoid follicles, as well as nerve bundles which, together, were considered components of a hamartoma.
