The hemangioma comprises the most common single tumor in the region of the head and neck. The oral and nasal cavities are the most frequent sites of occurrence. The common sites of occurrence intraorally are the lips, tongue, palate, and buccal mucosa. In such cases, it is imperative to aspirate the area before surgical intervention. If the endothelial component is prominent, thiis type of hemangioma is known as the cellular or capillary form.
Most hemangiomas undergo spontaneous regression at an early age.
Others, however, have been treated with a variety of modalities to including surgical excision, microembolization, radiation, sclerosing agents, and recently, laser therapy. The prognosis of the hemangioma, in general, is excellent. It does not tend to recur or undergo maliganant transformation following adequate treatment. Large multiple lesions may preclude definitive therapy and persist as a gross deformities.
