Masseter hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors that arise from the proliferation of endothelial cells within the masseter muscle. While hemangiomas account for a significant proportion of vascular anomalies, intramuscular hemangiomas are exceedingly uncommon, particularly in the masseter region, which represents the most frequent site in the head and neck. Intense stretching of muscle fibers and associated nerves is believed to be a predisposing factor. This study aims to discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management of masseter hemangiomas. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with a masseter hemangioma, treated successfully.
