Presumptive Intramuscular Hemangioma of the Masseter Muscle [PDF]
American Journal of Case Reports, 2015Hemangioma is a benign vascular proliferation. Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all hemangiomas, and occur normally in the trunk and extremities. Approximately 10-20% of intramuscular hemangiomas are found in the head and neck region, most often in the masseter muscles.
