Intramuscular hemangioma of masseter muscle with prominent formation of phleboliths: A case report

Hémangiome du masséter opéré par voie intra-orale

“…Les hémangiomes intramusculaires sont rares et surviennent le plus souvent à la région pelvienne. Seulement 10 % des cas se localisent à la face et au cou [4]. Dans la localisation massétérine, il existe une prédominance masculine, l'âge étant inférieur à 30 ans dans 90 % des cas [5].…”

“…La résection chirurgicale complète, élargie aux tissus sains adjacents permet la guérison. L'indication est un volume tumoral important, une gène esthétique et/ou fonctionnelle, une nécrose cutanée ou une hémorragie [1,4]. Une embolisation est pratiquée 48 à 72 heures avant l'intervention.…”

Intramuscular Hemangioma of the Subscapularis Muscle Presenting with Isolated Loss of External Rotation of the Shoulder

“…In our patient, articular capsule contracture with a fibrotic band underlying the subscapularis was found, which was deemed the cause of the limited external rotation. Some studies have reported that fibrosis tissues could be found around the intramuscular hemangioma in image studies and during surgical interventions [10,[12][13][14] , though no studies have confirmed the formation mechanism of the fibrosis tissues so far. Sikka et al [11] found similar findings in two patients with desmoid tumors in subscapularis muscles.…”

Intraoral Venous Malformation With Phleboliths – A Case Report With Review of the Literature.

“…Embolization solely or accompanied with surgery holds good for high flow vascular malformations. 17,18,19 Conclusion:-Phleboliths in vascular malformations are calcified bodies, not many intraoral cases have been found in the literatures.Though clinical diagnostic hypotheses were numerous to deal in the present case,histopathologyconfirmed the diagnosis. Since, now the old terminologiesare not in vogue, venous malformations are identified well, as clear entities on their own.…”
