Intramuscular haemangioma of the orbicularis oris muscle

Intramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) are uncommon tumors of the head and neck, but often occur in the trunk and extremities. When present in the head, the masseter muscle is the most frequently involved site, although constituting only 0.8% of all hemangiomas. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is uncommon without cytology or biopsy. A case of IMH of the masseter muscle in a 24-year-old Turkish woman is presented. Clinical, radiologic and histologic findings and treatment modalities are reviewed.

“…The most common involved site in the orofacial region is the masseter (10)(11)(12). IMHs of the mentalis (13), digastric, mylohyoid (14), orbicularis oris (15)(16)(17), and sternocleidomastoid (18) muscles have been reported too.…”

Introduction:Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of infancy that can occur anywhere in the body. Intramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) are accounting for approximately 1% of all cases and the muscles of extremities are the most common sites. Because of scarcity and variable clinical features of these tumors, we decided to report a case of IMH in the upper lip mucosa. Case Report: The patient was a 54-year-old male that was referred to our clinic for swelling of upper lip mucosa and face asymmetry. The lesion was excised. The histological study revealed an IMH. Discussion: Surgical excision might be an effective approach in IMH of upper lip. Complete resection minimizes the relapse rate of the tumor and results in favorable cosmetic outcomes.

“…IMH of the head and neck may be localized mainly in the masseter muscle (36%), trapezius (24%), periorbital muscles (12%), sternocleidomastoid muscle (10%), temporalis muscle, or orbicularis oris muscle4. IMH in the orbicularis oris muscle is very rare56.…”

Intramuscular hemangioma (IMH) is a rare vascular disease involving skeletal muscle, comprising only 0.8% of hemangiomas. About 10% to 15% of IMHs occur in the head and neck region, mostly involving the masseter muscle. IMH occurs mostly in childhood, but is often not found until unexpected enlargement, pain, or cosmetic asymmetry occurs in adulthood. Several non-surgical treatments including cryotherapy, sclerosant injection, and arterial ligature have been described, but complete surgical resection is the curative intervention. In this report, we present two rare cases of IMH. One IMH case in a 48-year-old male occurred in the masseter muscle feeding from the transverse facial artery. Embolization of the distal branch of the facial artery was first conducted, and then the buccal mass was removed surgically via the intraoral approach. A second IMH case in a 58-year-old female occurred in the orbicularis oris muscle feeding from the superior labial artery, and the mass was excised surgically without embolization.
