5y old Dua fatima having gradually increaseing right sided cheek swelling from last 2 years. Parents got concerend and reached me for diagnosis and treatment. On clinical examination it was freely mobile, soft to firm, non tender and compressible swelling in right buccinator muscle region. USG confirmed the clinical diagnosis of hemangioma. Small jawline incision planned taking care of the cosmesis and exploration done. Hemangioma was found taking its blood supply from facial artery branches. Feeding vessels were meticulously ligated and hemangioma excised taking care not to damage facial nerve branches. Wound closed in subcut fashion. On followup visit both Dua and parents are happy and satisfied.
A buccinator cavernous hemangioma isย a rare, benign, slow-growing vascular tumor arising within the buccinator muscle, often presenting in children and young adults as a progressive, soft tissue mass. Diagnosis is confirmed through imaging and histopathology, with complete surgical excision being the primary treatment, often requiring careful dissection to avoid facial nerve branches.
