A Novel Method of Using Mri in Diagnosing Masseteric Muscle Cavernous Haemangioma in A Case Series: A Original Research Article

چکیده
Intramuscular cavernous Haemangiomas represent less than 1% of all haemangiomas and consist of benign proliferations of blood vessels. Typical presentation is an enlarging painful soft-tissue mass without cutaneous changes. We diagnosed a series of 5 cases of cavernous haemangioma of the masseteric muscle presenting as an asymptomatic unilateral swelling. The rarity of a cavernous haemangioma in such a location with its presentation as a unilateral swelling without cutaneous changes made the cases unique and the MRI proves to be the novel method to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
