Abstract

Muscular hernia in extremities is an uncommon and underdiagnosed condition. Most masses are painless and asymptomatic. However, in some cases, muscle hernia can become painful after prolonged physical exercise. In this case report, we present an 18-year-old patient complaining of bulging in the left leg after physical activity, with initial suspicion of lipoma of the extremity. Ultrasonography identified a muscle hernia, highlighting the importance of early detection and leading adequate treatment without complications, unnecessary expenses, and misdiagnoses.
