Congenital Intramuscular Cavernous Hemangioma: A Rare and Underreported Entity

Hemangiomas are common pediatric vascular tumors characterized by endothelial cell proliferation. They usually appear shortly after birth and are more frequently observed in females. Deep-seated forms, such as cavernous hemangiomas, are more common, while those arising within muscle tissue are relatively rare. They are most commonly located in the head and neck. We present the case of a five-year-old female with a long-standing swelling in the left infra-axillary region. Biopsy confirmed an intramuscular cavernous hemangioma. This case highlights an uncommon anatomical location for this tumor type.
