case_images: In the arteriography images, the popliteal artery occluded in the proximal section but was filled in the distal section with collateral vessels (Figure 3).
case_images: The sagittal section of the popliteal mass on MRI showed the enormous mass.

case_images: The MRI scan revealed an enormous soft tissue mass of 115 x 107 x 196 cm in size between the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius with the features compatible with hematoma with lobulation (Figure 4).
