Hi,
The report says there is a hemangioma (a mass formed by abnormally dilated blood vessels) inside the muscle of front of left forearm. Other muscles, major arteries and bones are mentioned normal (suggesting it is not a cancer lesion).
This may cause chronic pain or swelling there. Treatment depends on degree of symptoms and functional impairment. Most of the times, this need no treatment other than regular monitoring. Rare cases with significant pain or functional impairment may need treatment with drugs, embolisation or surgery. Your doctor will discuss in detail.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
