- Abstract
- 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.
