title: [Venous hemangioma of the temporal muscle. Review of the literature: apropos of a case].
abstract: A 41-year-old woman progressively developed a painful tumefaction in the left temporal fossa. The scan showed a isodense intramuscular structure weakly enhanced by contrast medium. Surgical exeresis was performed via the coronal access. Histology of the surgical specimen reported the diagnosis of venous muscular haemangioma. The diagnosis and management of these rare tumours is discussed.
