 HISTORY
 
A 65-year-old woman with no relevant medical or surgical history presented to the orthopedic clinic with a 3-week history of a painful mass in her right arm that manifested 1 week after trauma. Physical examination revealed a firm palpable mass in the right biceps muscle, without overlying skin changes. She was afebrile. Laboratory studies did not reveal any abnormalities. Conventional radiography (images not shown) depicted a soft-tissue mass, without any soft-tissue calcification or skeletal abnormality. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed (Figs 1–4).
