Abstract

Vascular malformations originating from the wall of the external jugular vein are exceedingly uncommon. We present a unique case of a venous malformation arising from the external jugular vein, successfully treated through surgical excision with no subsequent recurrence. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention in managing such rare clinical entities without any resulting morbidity.
