Abstract

In this article, the authors report their management with minimally invasive surgery and embolisation of a bulky intramuscular capillary haemangioma. Masseteric capillary haemangioma is a rare tumour in adults: in cases of large-sized tumours we suggest a multidisciplinary approach in choosing the best treatment and minimally invasive, scarless surgery.
