Abstract

Spindle cell hemangioma (SCH) is a distinct benign vascular lesion that typically occurs in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue of distal extremities. Although SCH can occur in a variety of anatomic sites, very few cases have been reported in the head and neck region [1]. Spindle cell haemangioma presents as a solitary tumour or as multiple nodules clustered within the same region. In this article we present a rare case report of spindle cell hemangioma of left side of cheek in a 45 years old adult with a long-standing swelling present over face for 8 years. We excised the tumor and sent for histopathological examination which was reported as spindle cell hemangioma. Microscopic finding revealed cavernous vascular space with intervening thick septations consisting of spindle cell.
