Treatment of oral hemangioma with sclerotherapy: case report

Abstract

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.

Sclerotherapy of Intraoral Superficial Hemangioma

“…The results of the actual study were similar to the data of literature relating to sclerotherapy, with variations according to the type of sclerosing agent, its concentration, the number of injections, and the intervals between each treatment session [13, 14, 18, 24, 29, 30]. …”

Tratamento de hemangioma em mucosa labial por escleroterapia – Relato de caso clínico

“…Está contra indicado em casos de pacientes diabéticos não controlados e em áreas com infecção secundária. A utilização do oleato de etanolamina deve ser evitada durante a gravidez, pois pode ter efeito iatrogênico, não tendo ainda sido estabelecida sua segurança [30][31][32] .…”

Utility of sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy from benign oral vascular lesion

“…For lesions that are small or located where esthetical conservation is required, sclerotherapy can be an alternative to surgical treatment [7]. Sclerotherapy can regress lesions partially or entirely and is effective for relieving symptoms.…”

“…High-flow vascular malformations include arterial malformation [2]. The most common regions where it occurs in the oral cavity are two thirds of the anterior tongue, palate, gingiva, and buccal mucosa [7]. It generally appears at birth and increases its size as it grows.…”
