Abstract
Intramuscular hemangiomas of the head and neck are rare tumors, sparsely re ported. They usually present themselves as a mass which enlarges suddenly. A case of intramuscular hemangioma involving the posterior neck muscles is presented. Computed tomography scanning, magnetic resonance imaging and ang iography revealed the vascular nature of this lesion. Surgery consisted of a wide excision. The patient is free of disease after a 4-year follow-up.
