Hemangiomas are neoplastic proliferations of endothelial cells, characterized by a period of growth after birth, and eventual spontaneous involution. The course can be uneventful with spontaneous resolution; or it may be marked by complications such as infection, bleeding, ulceration, visual defects and feeding difficulties. Apart from these, rare...

Endotelyal proliferasyonu olmayan kan damarlarının yapısal anomalileri "vasküler malformasyonlar" olarak adlandırılır. Bu malformasyonlar doğum anında görülür ve bireyin yaşamı boyunca var olmaya devam eder.

... They are frequently present at birth but may become more noticeable later in life. Most hemangiomas are innocent vascular tumors but, in some situations, especially cavernous types can cause disfigurement or even life-threatening [3][4][5][6][7]. While vascular tumors are the neoplastic proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, vascular malformations are vascular structural anomalies with no neoplastic endothelial cell proliferation [8]. ...
... A justified aspect of this study focuses on using a highpower diode laser in surgical procedures for photocoagulation effects on an extensive oral hemangioma. Hemangiomas are benign tumors of proliferative and hyperplastic vascular endothelial cells [3,[5][6][7]. Moreover, their diagnosis is based on their clinical history and physical examination [12]. ...
Purpose
Oral hemangiomas are benign vascular proliferative tumors commonly on the tongue, lips, and gums. Several treatment modalities for hemangioma have been proposed, including laser photocoagulation.
Methods
This study aimed to describe the technique and the outcome of 2 cases of cavernous hemangiomas located on the tongue and oral mucosa treated with a 940-nm diode laser using the photocoagulation technique.
Results
Following treatment, patients demonstrated complete remission of the lesions. There were no visible scars and no evidence of recurrence after 6 months.
Conclusions
Photocoagulation with a 940-nm diode laser is an effective treatment for oral hemangioma and has been suggested to be an alternative to treat vascular tumors.
... The classification of vascular anomalies was revised in 1996 by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) to two main categories; vascular tumors (hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma, noninvoluting congenital hemangioma, hemangiopericytoma, tufted angioma, and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma) and vascular malformations [2,4,5,[17][18][19]. Vascular lesions including also hemangiomas, a subtype of vascular tumors, are developing due to abnormalities or endothelial cell proliferation in blood vessels [1,4,12,[18][19][20]. ...

... In our study also, the youngest patient diagnosed with oral hemangioma was 7 years old, and the oldest patient was 70 years old. These lesions are observed more in females than males, approximately the ratio of 3:1 [4,18,21]. We found a ratio of female:male is 4:1 in our study, as in the study by Jackson et al. [20]. ...
Objectives:
Oral hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor characterized by the presence of numerous blood vessels. We aimed to examine the clinical and ultrasonographic findings of patients diagnosed with oral hemangioma in our ultrasonography (USG) archive, retrospectively.
Methods:
This study was conducted by examining 20 patients diagnosed with oral hemangioma and underwent USG examination in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology of Atatürk University Faculty of Dentistry from 2016 to 2020. All patients had intraoral and radiographic examinations. Patients pre-diagnosed clinically oral hemangioma were evaluated as intraoral with USG. The intraoral USG examinations were performed using both the B-mode and the color Doppler mode.
Results:
The mean age of the patients was 42.4 ± 19.14 years; 16 patients were female and four were male. The lesions were mostly observed on the alveolar mucosa (30%), followed by the buccal mucosa (25%), the lower lip (15%), the mouth floor (15%), the tongue (15%). In intraoral USG examinations of all oral hemangiomas, we detected submucosal located, well-defined, lobulated, non-capsule, hypo-isoechoic, heterogeneous lesion areas. Additionally, while we detected only peripheral blood flow in 6 (30%) of 20 patients, we detected both internal and peripheral blood flow in 14 (70%).
Conclusions:
In our study, the examination of the oral hemangiomas with the intraoral probe and the color Doppler mode was very helpful in the differential diagnosis. Although histopathology has an important place in definitive diagnosis, particularly intraoral USG can provide sufficient information for the diagnosis of oral hemangiomas.
... The hemangiomas of the oral cavity are similar to that on the skin and appears as a flat, raised lesion deep red or bluish in colour that is seldom well circumscribed they mimic clinically, histopathologically and radiographically other lesions that have to be ruled out to come to a diagnosis (Colin et al., 2010). They exhibit rapid post natal growth followed by slow involution often resulting in complete regression (Rao et al., 2012). ...
... This classification was revised in 1996 by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies based on clinical, radiological and hemodynamic characteristics, into vascular malformations and vascular tumors. Vascular malformations are errors of morphogenesis whereas hemangiomas and other vascular tumors grow by cellular proliferation (Rao et al., 2012). These lesions are considered as a true benign vasoformative neoplasms or involving a dental condition of the endothelial origin, whereas other authors believe it to be a hamartoma stemming from the proliferation of mesodermal cells that undergo endothelial differentiation and become canalized (Colin et al., 2010). ...
... The advantages are immediate hemostatis, little damage to the surrounding tissues leading to no post-operative pain, obtaining a sterile field and hence, no risk of secondary infections and no need for post-operative dressing (Darbar et al., 1996). Cryosurgery may be used to correct lip and other soft tissue deformities (Rao et al., 2012).With adequate interventions appropriate reconstruction measures may be taken to restore the patient to optimum function. The aim of this report was to report a rare case of portwine hemangioma with intraoral, choroidal and lip involvement. ...
Hemangioma is a relatively common benign proliferation of the blood vessels that primarily develop during
childhood. In some cases based on its involvement it appears as a neoplasia but actually is a hamartoma. The two main forms of hemangioma are Capillary and Cavernous hemangioma. The capillary form of hemangioma
consists of a flat area made up of numerous small capillaries. These commonly involve the skin of the head an
d
the neck region. They may extend on the adjacent mucous membrane, subcutaneous connective tissue and the
bone. There is no link between genetics and these vascular proliferations. In certain cases they may be
associated with several rare syndromes that a
ffect the various organs which have to be ruled out with complete
investigations. The purpose of this case report was to highlight a case of capillary hemangioma (Port wine stain)
with classical extra oral and intraoral features that support it and are des
cribed in detail
