Abstract
BackgroundIntramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) account for 0.8 % or less of all benign soft tissue tumors in the general population. Due to their uncommon nature, especially in the head and neck, they are often misdiagnosed and not included in the differential diagnosis. MethodsThis study describes a case series of eleven pediatric patients with a diagnosis of IMH through a retrospective review of the electronic health records and archival records in the Department of Pathology at Children's Hospital of Colorado (CHCO). ResultsThe index case had a unique presentation in the submandibular triangle, while the remaining ten cases are appendicular and thoracolumbar in nature. ConclusionsThis case series contributes to the sparse scientific literature available regarding IMH, particularly in its head and neck presentation as relevant to otolaryngologists.
