Abstract :
Cavernous hemangioma is an encapsulated nodular mass composed of dilated, cavernous vascular space separated by connective
tissue stroma. Flattened endothelial cells line the vascular spaces,
which were filled with blood. Though hemangiomas are the mast
common benign neoplasms seen in children, they rarely occur in
adults. In the head and neck region, the masseter and trapezius
muscles are most commonly involved. Herein, the case is a 64
years old male who presented with a round, painless mass in the
right temporal fossa with extension to infratemporal fossa. The
lesion was surgically excised and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma.
