Popis: Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that arise due to the proliferation of blood vessels. They can occur anywhere in the body but rarely occur in the neck. They are broadly classified into capillary and cavernous hemangioma. Here, we present a case of a 53-year-old female who presented to our outpatient department with swelling on the right side of the neck for 3 years with a recent increase in size associated with tingling, numbness, and pain in the right shoulder radiating to the arms and fingers for 6 months. Imaging studies suggested the diagnosis of right cervical hemangioma. After two failed sclerotherapy attempts, surgical excision of the mass was performed. Histopathology was suggestive of venous hemangioma.
