Introduction: Cavernous hemangiomas are composed of large, dilated vascular channels. Compared to capillary hemangiomas, cavernous hemangiomas are more infiltrative, frequently involve deep structures, and do not spontaneously regress. Case Report: A 57 year old patient presented in Surgery OPD with a complaint of swelling on right cheek since birth, with the swelling was now increasing in size and tender. On MRI, a large polypoidal exophytic mass of size 7.6x9.5x15cm (APxMLxSI) was seen arising from skin and subcutaneous plane of right cheek. MRI gave presumptive diagnosis of Plexiform Neurofibroma, and histopathological correlation was advised. Gross examination: examination: Specimen received consist of three greyish brown to greyish black, soft to firm tissue pieces partially covered with skin. Microscopy: Histological features were consistent with Cavernous Hemangioma. Discussion: This is probably the first reported case of such massive facial cavernous hemangioma in adult male. This case is particularly interesting because of its presence in an adult male while most of the haemangiomas involutes by 9 years of age.
