“…MR imaging has been shown to provide better detection and delineation of the extent of intramuscular hemangioma than CT. Furthermore, MR imaging is superior because of the distinct contrast between normal muscle and the intramuscular hemangioma that results from the presence of nonvascular tissue, fat, smooth muscle, fibrous and myxoid tissue, thrombus, hemosiderin, and bone [8,9].…”

We report here a case of intramuscular cavernous hemangioma of the right masseter muscle in a 41-year-old woman-misdiagnosed preoperatively as parotid tumor-along with its imaging and pathologic findings. Preoperative diagnosis of intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas of the masseter muscle is problematic, in that they may be confused with parotid tumor or other muscular lesions. In a patient with soft-tissue mass suspected of representing a hemangioma, MR imaging may provide more specific information regarding the characteristics, the origin, and the extent of the lesion than other imaging modalities.

“…6,7 The masseter (36%), followed by the trapezius (24%), are the muscles most frequently affected. 6 However, hemangioma in the temporalis muscle is rarely reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, in the international literature, Bucci et al 8 reported a review of temporal muscle hemangiomas, which has shown that 24 cases exist in the literature as of 2008.…”

Hemangiomas are frequent benign hereditary vascular tumors. Intramuscular hemangiomas, a distinctive type of hemangioma occurring within the skeletal muscle, account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. They occur more often in the trunk and extremity muscles, whereas the involvement of the temporal muscle is extremely rare. A 34-year-old man with a mass in his left temporal fossa was admitted. Computed tomographic scan showed no erosion of the bone, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ovoid mass within the temporal muscle. The lesion was surgically excised, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. The patient was not able to lift his left eyebrow right after the surgery. Two months after the surgery, the patient recovered from paralysis, and there was no recurrence of tumor 12 months after the surgery. We report the 27th cavernous hemangioma case of the temporalis muscle. Care must be taken to avoid possible stretch injury to facial nerve branches while resecting these tumors.

“…Although IMHs show an equal sex distribution, involvement of the masseter muscle has a definite male predominance 13. The common complaint is the presence of a painful, slow growing mass with no aesthetic concerns 14. The lesion does not usually show any of the vascular signs such as thrill or skin discolouration that are characteristic of superficial haemangiomas 12…”

Intramuscular sinusoidal haemangioma with secondary Masson's phenomenon

SUMMARYIntramuscular haemangiomas (IMHs) are rare benign vascular neoplasms that account for approximately 0.8% of all haemangiomas. The histology of IMHs can reveal cavernous dilated spaces. We report an interesting case of haemangioma in the deep skeletal muscle of the right labial mucosa in a young man involving the orbicularis oris muscle which showed additional features of sinusoidal arrangement with a secondary Masson's phenomenon.
