Article Synopsis
- Intramuscular haemangiomas (IH) are rare, making up less than 1% of all haemangiomas, and this article focuses on a case involving a woman in her 40s with a swelling in her cheek.* -

- The surgery resulted in temporary swelling and trismus but did not cause any facial paralysis, and the article also covers information about IH in the head and neck and their surgical treatment methods.*
