Abstract
Background/aim: Cavernous hemangiomas in children older than 2 years will unlikely resolute and therefore, frequently require treatment. The aim of the study was to comparatively evaluated the outcome of the sclerotherapy with polidocanol and the conventional pingyangmycin therapy for thick cavernous hemangiomas in the oral cavity in children.
Patients and methods: We treated a total of 21 cavernous hemangiomas in the oral cavity (majority on the tongue) of children aged 2-11 years by means of a sclerotherapy using an anesthetic agent polidocanol under ultra-sound monitoring.
Results: Total regression of the tumors was achieved in 20 cases, corresponding to a success rate of 95%, significantly (p=0.0005) higher than that achieved by the conventional pingyangmycin therapy, which was <50%. No severe complication was observed, while mild and transit ones such as local swelling, pain, and ulceration were reported by both groups at similar frequency (10-20%).
Conclusion: Sclerotherapy using polidocanol provides an effective, safe, and relatively simple treatment for hemangiomas in the oral cavity of children and may be recommended to replace the conventional pingyangmicine treatment.
