Intramuscular haemangiomas of the head and neck region are rare. They may present as an incidental finding, a mass or swelling, pain, tenderness, limitation of movement or cosmetic deformity. Treatment depends on the clinical signs and symptoms. Because of the apparent rarity of this lesion, we report a case of an incidental finding of multiple radio-opacities in a dental panoramic tomograph that was diagnosed as cavernous haemangioma in temporalis muscle with multiple phleboliths.
