[Intramuscular hemangioma of the M. massetericus]

Intramuscular hemangiomas are distinct neoplasms originating within normal skeletal muscle. They represent less than I % of all hemangiomas and occur most frequently in the trunk of extremities, perhaps because of the larger muscle volume in these areas. They occasionally occur in the head and neck area and we present an unusual localisation of intramuscular hemangioma; M. Massetericus.
