Vascular Leiomyoma is a rare tumor entity of the head and neck. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman with a cavernous vascular leiomyoma of the neck. The Patient underwent preoperative ultrasound diagnostic following an uncomplicated extirpation of the tumor under general anasthesia. This tumor entity should be taken into differential diagnosis of head and neck tumors with which the oto-rhino-laryngologist is confronted.
