“…9 In another study carried out by Buetow et al, a relapse rate of 18% was identified after incomplete surgery. 11 Total surgical excision was used under general anaesthesia in our case. No any relapse occurred during 3-monthly follow-up of the patient.…”

Intramuscular hemangiomas of the head and neck are rare congenital vascular tumors and are sparsely reported. Hemangiomas account for approximately 7% of benign tumors and usually present as a mass that suddenly enlarges. Hemangiomas are mostly seen on the trunk and extremities, but can also appear on the head and neck region. A 28 year old female presented in OPD with 5x4 cm mass in Right posterior triangle of neck. CT scan showed 5x4x4 cm swelling in right posterior triangle involving sternocleidomastoid muscle. The mass was totally extracted by surgical intervention and pathological analysis revealed that it was a cavernous hemangioma. The patient’s neck movement returned to normal after surgery.

“…Observation is preferred if a tumor is tightly adhered to the adjacent structures. Unlike superficial hemangiomas, IMHs do not demonstrate spontaneous regression (7). Surgical excision of IMH should be considered at the forefront if the mass is gradually growing; if the patient has pain, local skin necrosis, thrombocytopenia, and cosmetic concerns; or if malignancy is suspected (2,11).…”

“…Surgical excision of IMH should be considered at the forefront if the mass is gradually growing; if the patient has pain, local skin necrosis, thrombocytopenia, and cosmetic concerns; or if malignancy is suspected (2,11). In addition, according to the literature, radiotherapy is contraindicated in the treatment of IMH because of the possibility of malignant transformation and low success rate (7). Based on our knowledge, our patient's tumor was surgically resected along with the adjacent muscle tissues while taking care to preserve the phrenic nerve, brachial plexus, and left subclavian artery.…”

Intramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) account for <%1 of all hemangiomas and are rarely located in the head and neck region. The most common site of origin in the head and neck is the masseter muscle, whereas IMH originating from the scalene muscles are rarely seen. Surgical excision of intramuscular hemangioma is considered the main treatment modality. Here we present the case of a male patient aged 17 with IMH that occured after blunt trauma in the supraclavicular region, fed by the thyrocervical and costocervical trunks, and with an arteriovenous shunt.

“…1 0.8% of all hemangioma and 10-20% of all intramuscular hemangioma are located in the head and neck muscles. [2][3][4] They are uncommon in the head and neck region and arising most frequently from masseter and trapezius muscles. Due to the fact that IMH has nonspecific clinical findings; preoperative diagnosis is difficult.…”

ÖZETTüm hemanjiyomların %1'ini oluşturan intramuskuler hemanjiyomalar nadir görülen benign tümörlerdir. Sıklıkla gövde ve ekstremitelerde görülebilmektedir. Masseter ve trapezius kaslarından köken alabilen bu oluşumlar baş ve boyun bölgesinde nadir izlenmektedir. Hastalar genellikle parotis ve yüz bölgesinde zamanla büyüyen ağrısız kitleden şikayet eder. Lokalizasyonundan dolayı intramuskuler hemanjiyomaların %90'ında klinik olarak yanlışlıkla parotis kitlesi tanısı konulabilir. Bu kitlelerin tanısında gö-rüntüleme yöntemleri önemli yer tutar.Anahtar kelimeler: İntramuskuler hemanjiyom, baş ve boyun kasları, görüntüleme yöntemleri. ABSTRACTIntramuscular hemangiomas are rarely seen benign tumors, constituting %1 of all hemangiomas. They mostly occur in the trunk and extremities. They are uncommon in the head and neck region and arising most frequently from masseter and trapezius muscle. The patients usually complain about progressive and painless swelling in facial-parotid region. Due to its location, 90% of all intramuscular hemangiomas are misdiagnosed and often clinically mistaken as a parotid swelling. Radiologic images play important role for diagnosis of these hemangiomas.
