Hemangiomas account for approximately 7% of benign tumors and usually present as a mass that suddenly enlarges. Hemangiomas are mostly seen on the trunk and extremities, but can also appear on the head and neck region. A 28 year old female presented in OPD with 5x4 cm mass in Right posterior triangle of neck.
