Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Intraosseoushemangiomas are the rarest lesion of jaw bones (0.5–1%) occurs more commonly in vertebral column, skull bone, and rarely in mandible. Mostly occurs in the 2nddecade of life with female: male predilection (2:1). Origin of hemangiomas is still not clear. World Health Organization considers it as a true benign neoplasm of vascular origin, and many authors believe it to be a hamartoma. Cavernous hemangioma is very difficult to diagnose due to variable clinical and radiological features. Management is very difficult because of massive vascular network in that region. Here we are presenting a case report of 64 years old female with cavernous hemangioma of anterior mandible, which was treated with surgical resection of mandible and followed by reconstruction. Keywords:Hemangioma, Cavernous hemangioma, intra osseous, Mandible, vascular origin, benign neoplasm
