title: Multifocal cavernous hemangioma: a rare presentation.
abstract: Periorbital cavernous hemangiomas involving other facial structures usually occur in young adults. We now report a case with multifocal involvement of the eyelid, orbit, conjunctiva, cheek, palate, and temporal fossa, simultaneously, which is quite rare. These lesions are slow-growing and may be associated with systemic abnormalities. Clinical and imaging parameters are employed to differentiate them from other vascular malformations. Depending on the site and severity of the tumor, appropriate treatment modalities are initiated to minimize cosmetic disfigurement and functional deficit in the patient.
