Management of Tongue Hemangioma with Sclerosing Agent - A Case Report

Dr. Asif Imtiyaz Molla

Abstract: Hemangiomas are one of the most prevalent birth abnormalities in humans, which are formed from vascular tissues. 60% of instances involve the head and neck, which is the most common site. Numerous therapy options are tested, some of which are effective and others are somewhat disappointing. Among the treatment options considered are irradiation, sclerosing agents, surgical excision, cauterization, CO2 freezing, steroid medication, and watchful waiting. Hemangiomas must be treated carefully, taking into account factors including size, location, patient age, and the effectiveness of the intended approach. This case report presents the efficacy of intralesional injection of sodium tetradecyl sulphate for the management of haemangiomas.
