“…3,4,12,15 For larger and/or intraosseous, lesions located in areas with esthetic impact, treatment should consist of embolization or obliteration of the lesion and adjacent vessels; indicated with the objective of achieving involution of the lesion for a subsequent surgical procedure. 5,15,16 Sclerotherapy is the safest method, offering partial or total regression of the lesion, facilitating resection in a subsequent surgical intervention, if this proves necessary.…”

Hemangiomas are benign neoplasms that are common in the head and neck, but relatively rare in the oral cavity. They can cause esthetic and functional impairment, depending on location. The most common site is the upper lip, but they can occur in other areas, such as the tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. Treatment is primarily dependent on correct diagnosis of the lesion and on its anatomic location. The purpose of this article is to provide a description of a case of a hemangioma on the upper lip, treated by therapeutic sclerosis with monoethanolamine oleate (Ethamolin  ), covering clinical characteristics and methods for diagnosing these lesions. Precise diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic management resulted in satisfactory esthetic and functional results, with total regression of the lesion and no signs of relapse at 1-year follow-up.Keywords: hemangioma; sclerotherapy; neoplasms, vascular tissue; mouth; lip. ResumoO hemangioma é uma neoplasia benigna comum na região de cabeça e pescoço, e é relativamente rara na cavidade oral, podendo causar prejuízo estético e funcional a depender da sua localização. Sua localização mais frequente é o lábio superior, mas pode ocorrer em outras regiões, como língua, mucosa jugal e palato. O seu tratamento depende, principalmente, do correto diagnostico da lesão, bem como da localização anatômica da mesma. A proposta deste artigo é relatar um caso de hemangioma em lábio superior tratado com esclerose terapêutica com oleato de monoetanolamina (Ethamolin  ), considerando as características clínicas e os métodos de diagnóstico desta lesão.

Objective: To present a large series of oral haemangiomas in children, analyzing the clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome of oral haemangiomas in 28 children. Material and Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective study, reviewing medical records with clinical diagnosis of haemangioma between 1990 and 2006 at the Children's Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Hospital Universitario la Fe, Valencia. All patients with a clinical, radiographic, pathologically confirmed diagnosis of oral haemangioma were included. Results: The study included 28 patients (19 females and 9 males) with a mean age of 4.27 years (range 0-14 years). Nine were congenital haemangioma. The most frequent location of oral haemangioma was in the lip with 23 cases, followed by three cases in the tongue and 2 in the buccal mucosa. The mean diameter of the lesion was 1.67 cm (range 1-3cm). The mean duration of the lesion was 6.3 months (range 1 month to 5 years). Of the 28 haemangiomas, 13 were surgically removed, 2 were treated with embolization and 13 disappeared spontaneously. The mean follow up was 2.7 months (1-8 months). There were no cases of recurrence. Conclusions: Haemangiomas usually present in children, and can be seen from birth. They have a predilection for females. They are uncommon in the oral cavity. In the oral region, the most common location is the lip. Most congenital haemangioma regress spontaneously without treatment. The treatment of choice is surgical excision of the lesion.

“…14, 15 We therefore undertook a review of our patients to evaluate the treatment outcomes following various managements of hemangiomas, remembering that the comparison of ways of treatment is significant when all variables are fixed (size, site, age). Our study revealed a favorable outcome after steroid therapy regarding to reduction in size of tumor, and improvement in color.…”
