Intramuscular haemangioma are uncommon benign neoplasms arising most frequently in the masseter and trapezius muscle. Due to its location it is often mistaken for a parotid swelling and rarely is an accurate pre-operative diagnosis achieved clinically. The intra-masseteric location also poses special problem in terms of proximity to the facial nerve and the post-operative flattening following excision of the masseter muscle. Herein, the case is reported of a 35- year-old male who presented with a round, painless mass on the left cheek, which was interpreted as an intramuscular haemangioma after a magnetic resonance imaging scan.
