Popis:	Intramuscular haemangiomas (IMHs) are acquired lesions and account for 0.8% of all haemangiomas. Fewer than 80 cases of IMHs have been reported, and most of them were located in the trunk or extremities. Head and neck region represents 13.5% of IMHs. They are frequently misdiagnosed as parotid lesions or even temporomandibular joint dysfunction. When a history of an enlarging vascular mass is present, a high index of suspicion for invasive tumour is required.
