Abstract
The types of treatment for hemangiomas occurring around or within the oral cavity
are discussed. Excision of smaller, totally accessible vascular tumors is advised.
The more obscure, larger, or deeper tumors may be better treated by sclerosing solution
injections.
Four cases of hemangioma are presented. One case, because of the inadvertent injection
of a radiopaque contrast medium into the afferent vessel of the tumor, was made radiographically
visible. The effectiveness of injections of a sclerosing solution could now unmistakably
be calculated and visualized. Two other cases of oral hemangioma were treated by injections
of the sclerosing solution. All three patients were relieved of their tumors. One
patient's hemangioma was treated by total excision. No recurrence was found in any
of these cases. It is suggested that these two methods of treatment be given priority
over radiation therapy in other cases of a similar nature.
