Hemangioma: A rarest entity

Abstract

Hemangiomas are benign congenital lesion which has endothelial origin, but still evidence of its origin is in dilemma as few writers consider it as a true neoplasm and on the other hand as a hamartomatous lesion. The frequency of central hemangioma in jaws is less. Clinically, the patient may be asymptomatic or there may be the presence of pulsatile bleeding, slow growing bluish mass, mobile teeth, and deranged dentition, early dental exfoliation and discomfort in normal life hence on clinical basis the mucosal and soft tissue lesions can be easily diagnosed, but intrabony lesions are difficult to discriminate. Its clinical and radiographic features are comprehensive; therefore, a suitable diagnosis is mandatory. Treating central hemangioma is very difficult because of its profusive vascularity. Out of various remedies, available surgery is being most frequently used. In this article, we report a 22-year-old male patient with central hemangioma located in right body of the mandible with ambiguous clinical features, radiographical, and histopathological features.
