Abstract
Angioleiomyomas are uncommon benign tumors comprising smooth muscle and vascular endothelial cells. Their occurrence in the head and neck region, especially among pediatric patients, is extremely rare. This article presents a case of a 14-year-old male with an angioleiomyoma in the right neck, which was surgically removed via a modified Blair incision and superficial parotidectomy. This case adds to the limited literature on angioleiomyomas in the pediatric head and neck area, providing a comprehensive review of existing medical knowledge.
