Venous angioma of the neck in a child

Venous vascular masses in the neck are rare entities in the pediatric population. Aneurysmal dilatation or ectasia of the superficial cervical vein, the so-called "venous angioma" is a very uncommon condition. A 12-year old female with venous angioma involving the right neck is described. The preoperative diagnosis was confirmed by angiography.
