No: MRI showed the incidental finding of the small hemangioma.

No: Hemangiomas are jumbles of capillaries often best known as a strawberry mark when they appear on the skin surface although they can be located anywhere in the body. They are generally present from birth & not formed by trauma. The incidental finding on MRI is just the doc pointing out an unusual but benign finding.
