case_images: The lesion was located approximately between the angle of the mandible and the anterior aspect of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (2-3 cm below the inferior border of the mandible) [Figure 1a]. The lesion, which appeared of vascular origin because of red-brown color, was capsulated and associated with a small artery on both the anterior and posterior borders [Figure 1b]. The excised specimen measuring 1.5 cm was sent to the laboratory for histopathological examination [Figure 1c]. No esthetic problem or complaint or recurrence was encountered over the course of the 3-year follow-up period [Figure 1d].
