| description | ABSTRACT Hemangioma is a benign neoplasm characterized by abnormal proliferation of blood vessels. It is mainly located in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, jugal mucosa, and lips. The main complaints of patients concern esthetic and functional issues, and the diagnosis is made through clinical examination and semio-technical maneuvers. Hemangioma has a wide range of treatment options, and there should be an individual analysis of each case for a more efficient therapeutic choice. Sclerotherapy as a treatment method for hemangioma provides a noninvasive, low cost intervention with satisfactory resolution in a short period of time. The aim of this study is to present the case of a hemangioma with 20 years of evolution, located in the lingual body region in a hypertensive patient, treated with sclerotherapy using the 5% ethanolamine oleate sclerosing agent, with total regression of the lesion. The sclerotherapy in this case was an efficient treatment modality. Through a non-surgical procedure and in a short period of time there was total remission of the lesion. |
