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. Hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions and are classified into cavernous, capillary, and mixed types.
