Intramuscular haemangioma are rare benign congenital neoplasm of proliferative vascular in nature due to increased endothelial cell turnover. Less than 20% of these are found in head and neck region. The masseter muscle accounts for 5% of all intramuscular haemangioma of head and neck region. They are non metastasizing tumours which may suddenly start growing in later stages. The present article will discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and surgical treatment of cavernous Haemangioma involving masseter muscle in a 15-year-old young female patient in whom a surgical excision of whole lesion was done under general anaesthesia and no reoccurrence of the lesion was observed after one year of follow up.
