Abstract
Abstract:Hemangioma, is benign vascular lesions, common in the head and neck regions, but relatively rare in the oral cavity. The most common site is the upper lip, but they can occur in other areas, such as the tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. Hemangiomas possess an extremely challenging treatment dilemma for surgeons and the patients.Treatment is primarily dependent on correct diagnosis of the lesion and on its anatomic location. Oral hemangioma can be treated withsclerotherapy, systemic corticosteroids, interferon α, laser, embolization, cryotherapy and surgery. The purpose of this article is to provide a description of a case of a hemangioma on the lower lip, treated by therapeutic sclerosis with Sodium tetradecyl sulfate (1 %)(Trombovar). Hemangioma regressed with considerable relief of symptoms with minimal complications. When used in appropriate doses, Sclerosing agent, 1%Sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS), is very effective for treatment of oral hemangioma. Keywords:Hemangioma, Lower lip mucosa, Sclerotherapy, Sodium tetradecyl sulfate.
