Hemangioma of the Masseter Muscle

Abstract
The case of a patient with a hemangioma of the masseter muscle is presented. The treatment in this case was superficial parotidectomy and resection of the hemangioma. A review of the literature reveals that the masseter muscle is a fairly uncommon location for hemangiomas. Among the cases reported the diagnosis was rarely made preoperatively. Most authors recommended that superficial parotidectomy be done as part of the surgical excision.
