Abstract
Hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions and are classified into cavernous, capillary, and mixed types. Phleboliths are calcified nodules that can be regarded as a pathognomic feature of hemangioma. The treatment of the hemangiomas is based on location, accessibility, depth of invasion, age, and cosmetic considerations. Surgical extirpation is a mainstay of treatment when indicated. Three cases of head and neck hemangioma are reported with clinical and imaging findings.
