Management of a Life Threatening Bleeding Following Extraction of Deciduous Second Molar Related to a Capillary Haemangioma

Hemangioma in the lower labial vestibule of an eleven-year-old girl: A case report

BACKGROUND

Hemangioma is a vascular benign tumour of endothelial origin. It appears commonly in the first decade of life with increases incidence in females. Hemangioma is not common to happen in the oral cavity and it is extremely rare to appear in the labial vestibule.

CASE SUMMARY

We present a case of an 11-year-old girl who complained of a painful, slowly growing mass which was consistent with the capillary hemangioma in the left mandibular vestibule. Vascular tumor such as hemangioma in the mandibular vestibule is extremely rare; hence, the clinical definitive diagnosis is very challenging. Therefore, radiographic imaging and histopathologic analysis are crucial to reach to the final diagnosis for proper management.

CONCLUSION

Comprehensive clinical evaluation, proper diagnostic imaging and microscopic analysis of the mass establish a precise diagnosis of the hemangioma for better management.

Diode laser photocoagulation of intraoral (and perioral) venous malformations: Cases series

Vascular anomalies are subdivided into vascular tumors (hemangiomas) and vascular malformations. They are frequently located in the head, neck, and oral cavity. They are common complaints reported in patients seeking treatment for aesthetic or functional issues. However, recent advances in the diagnosis and management of these lesions are improving treatment strategies. This review provides both basic and up-to-date knowledge on the most common vascular anomalies encountered by practitioners. Due to the wide variability of treatment options which often generates debate, this paper work aims to provide a comprehensive approach of these lesions based upon current concepts and practical clinical experience. Our article is about 4 patients who had consulted for one or several purplish, elevated, well limited and soft lesion. These lesions was not painful, but worrying for patients. Therapies for VAs continue to generate a dilemma for oral surgeons. Several treatment options were reported, including conventional surgery with or without adjunctive preoperative embolization, and drug therapies, such corticosteroids, intralesional injection of corticosteroids and intralesional injections of sclerosing agents. All of these therapeutic approaches carry a high risk of severe side effects such as scars, pain, and bleeding [7]. Nowadays, advances in the use of lasers have allowed doctors an effective treatment with minimal side effects [9]. All our cases described in this article were done by Pr Haitami, using the 980 nm Diode laser, and a complete healing was observed in about 8 months at the most. The laser is therefore a great help in the management of this type of lesion.

Intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus muscle: A rare case report presentation and diagnosis

INTRODUCTION

intramuscular hemangioma (IMH) is a relatively rare benign vascular tumor of the skeletal muscles. It shows less than 1% of all soft tissue hemangiomas. In the head and neck area, it occurs usually in the masseter muscle followed by temporalis and sternocleidomastoid muscles.

PRESENTATION OF CASE

we present a case of 25-year-old male patient with a chief complaint of slowly growing facial swelling in the left zygomatic area. Clinical, imaging and histopathological evaluation lead to the diagnosis of intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus major muscle.

DISCUSSION

IMH in the zygomaticus muscle is very rare; hence, the clinical diagnosis of IMH is challenging. Different diagnostic procedures can be used such as CT and MRI. In addition, the ideal therapy for esthetic disfiguring IMH in the head are is the complete surgical excision of the lesion. Through the review of literature and to our knowledge this case is the first report of intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus muscle.

CONCLUSION

IMHs are rare in the head and neck area and must be considered in differential diagnosis of isolated muscle mass in this region.
