Use of sclerosant solution for treatment of intraoral hemangioma: a case report

Hemangioma is considered the most common benign vascular tumor during childhood, primarily affecting fair-skinned female patients. The aim of this study is to describe a case of hemangioma in a 29-year-old male patient with fair skin, evolving over 8 years on the right lateral border of the tongue. The intraoral clinical examination revealed a purplish stain with increased volume. The diagnosis was made through diascopy, and the treatment elected was local infiltration of sclerosing solution Ethamoline oleate in association with dexamethasone. In this case, it is noteworthy to emphasize the importance of considering this entity in the differential diagnosis of indolent intraoral stains of some duration, and it is vital that dentists maintain a high degree of clinical attention, given its potential for malignancy.
