Intramuscular scalp hemangioma in an adult female: A rare case report

Abstract

Hemangiomas are the benign tumors of vascular origin. They are the most common tumor in infants and children (10% incidence) but rare in adults. They are more common in girls. They are more commonly found in head and neck region and most commonly located in skin and subcutaneous tissue. They are rarely found in the intramuscular location (0.8% incidence). This article represents a rare case report of intramuscular scalp hemangioma located in the right temporalis muscle in a 26-year-old female presented with chief complaint of headache, which was confirmed by radiological investigations. Surgical excision was done, and approximately 2 cm × 2 cm-sized lesion was excised.
