Intraneural haemangiomas are rare tumours that can affect peripheral nerves. We describe a case of a 10-year-old female with an incidental finding of a common peroneal nerve lesion following knee injury. MRI demonstrated avid heterogeneous enhancement and peri-lesional oedema, and an open biopsy was performed revealing haemangioma on histopathological analysis. The patient was managed with observation and remains intact at 24-month follow-up.
