title: Hemangioma arising from external jugular vein mimicking neck mass.
abstract: Hemangiomas are common benign tumors which can develop in any part of the body. Despite their common nature, hemangiomas arising from blood vessels are very rare. In this article, we present a very rare case of hemangioma which was originated from external jugular vein. The hemangioma was totally excised after the external jugular vein was ligated from both sides and no complication was observed.
