Zusammenfassung

Intramuskuläre Tumoren der Kopf- und Halsregion sind selten und stellen häufig eine differenzialdiagnostische Herausforderung dar. Die vorliegende Kasuistik beschreibt den seltenen Fall eines intramuskulären Hämangioms des M. sternocleidomastoideus mit ungewöhnlich später Erstmanifestation in der 6. Lebensdekade. Nur wenige Fallberichte sind hinsichtlich dieser ungewöhnlichen Lokalisation publiziert. Aufgrund der ausgeprägten Rezidivneigung intramuskulärer Hämangiome stellt jedoch eine korrekte präoperative Diagnose die Grundlage für eine adäquate chirurgische Therapie mit ausreichendem Sicherheitsabstand dar.

Abstract

Intramuscular tumours of the head and neck often represent a differential diagnostic challenge. We report the rare case of an intramuscular haemangioma arising from the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the 6th decade. Pre-operative diagnosis was difficult, as these tumours are extremely uncommon in the head and neck region, with only very few cases reported in the literature. Due to the marked tendency of intramuscular hemangiomas to recur, accurate preoperative diagnosis forms the basis of adequate surgical therapy with sufficient safety margins.
