Intramuscular hemangiomas of the head and neck are rare congenital vascular tumors and are sparsely reported. Hemangiomas account for approximately 7% of benign tumors and usually present as a mass that suddenly enlarges. Hemangiomas are mostly seen on the trunk and extremities, but can also appear on the head and neck region. A 28 year old female presented in OPD with 5x4 cm mass in Right posterior triangle of neck. CT scan showed 5x4x4 cm swelling in right posterior triangle involving sternocleidomastoid muscle. The mass was totally extracted by surgical intervention and pathological analysis revealed that it was a cavernous hemangioma. The patient’s neck movement returned to normal after surgery.
