    <Abstract>Introduction: Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of infancy that can occur anywhere in the body. Intramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) are accounting for approximately 1% of all cases and the muscles of extremities are the most common sites. Because of scarcity and variable clinical features of these tumors, we decided to report a case of IMH in the upper lip mucosa. Case Report: The patient was a 54-year-old male that was referred to our clinic for swelling of upper lip mucosa and face asymmetry. The lesion was excised. The histological study revealed an IMH. Discussion: Surgical excision might be an effective approach in IMH of upper lip. Complete resection minimizes the relapse rate of the tumor and results in favorable cosmetic outcomes. </Abstract>
