"Both capillary and cavernous subtypes are identified histologically and both types can be seen within the one tumour. A variant is the ossifying haemangioma of the facial nerve, which has a distinctive appearance; radiating outwards from its centre is a 'spoke wheel' or 'honeycomb' arrangement of ossification."
"There is an osteolytic lesion centred in the facial nerve canal with irregular and amorphous margins. The presence of internal honeycomb ossific matrix, present in half of cases, is pathognomonic 6."
