A Case of Cavernous Hemangioma with Phlebolithialis in Anterior Neck

Abstract

Hemangioma of the head and neck with phlebolithialis is not common, especially in the neck region. We reported one case of cavernous hemangioma with phlebolithialis in the anterior neck region and discussed the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this case.
This case was a 26-year-old male who complained of a right anterior neck swelling. The preoperative diagnosis was difficult, because this tumor was adjacent to the thyroid grand, and examinations were required to differentiate the thyroid tumor. The diagnosis could not be established by x-ray examination and we could not differentiate it from thyroid tumor preoperatively and postoperative histopathological examination revealed cavernous hemangioma containtng phlebolithialis.
