Hemangioma of Tongue with Abrupt Growth Onset: A Rare Case Report
Asian Journal of Case Reports in Medicine and Health,
Page 6-10
Abstract
Hemangiomas of the oral cavity are uncommon but have a predilection for the tongue. Although the majority of lingual hemangomas are superficial, certain lesions can affect the deep tongue or even the entire tongue. They're called hamartomas rather than genuine neoplasms. Author presents a case of haemangioma of the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue involving both ventral and dorsal aspects, and ascertaining the diagnostic evaluation and emphasizing the role of color doppler ultrasonography and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in unrevealing the diagnostic dilemma of the lesion, and further helping in deciding the level of the management. This Study presents a relatively rare and unusual case of haemangioma of tongue with abrupt onset of growth.
