Intramuscular hemangiomas are the infrequent benign congenital neoplasms which account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas and less than 20% of these are found in cervicofacial region. Masseter muscle is the often involved muscle in head and neck region accounting for 5% of all hemangiomas. Most commonly present in first three decades of life and unlike cutaneous hemangiomas, they show no signs of regression and are deep seated within the muscles which are slow growing [1]. Intramuscular hemangiomas scarcely display any clinical signs and symptoms that reveal their vascular nature. So these are most commonly misdiagnosed entity [2].We report a rare case of intramuscular hemangioma of orbicularis oris in a 32 year old male.
