| Popis: | Introduction: Hemangiomas are benign tumors that are very common in the head and neck region. However, intravascular hemangiomas are very rare. Hemangiomas are classified as capillary, cavernous or mixed tumors according to the proliferating cells. Ultrasound, computed tomography, MR imaging and angiography are useful diagnostic tools and are generally required when planning surgical treatment. Definitive diagnosis is established by histopathological examination, differentiating hemangiomas from other vascular tumors or malignancies. Case Report: We present a rare case of capillary hemangioma protruding from the external jugular vein. In our patient, the tumor was totally removed under local anesthesia. No complications and no recurrence were observed in the following two years. Conclusion: Intravascular tumors can present as neck masses and a definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological examination. Imaging tools provide important information about anatomy, the extent of the tumor, and for surgical planning. |
