MANDU, Angélica Lopes Cordeiro et al. Sclerotherapy of hemangioma: a case report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.1, pp. 71-76. ISSN 1808-5210.

Hemangioma is a benign tumor characterized by an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels. It affects the oral cavity, most commonly the lips, tongue and oral mucosa. In view of its clinical importance, being commonly encountered in the dental surgeon's areas of operation, knowledge of this benign neoplasm or malformation is of great importance. among the treatment options, sclerotherapy has been used with satisfactory clinical and aesthetic results. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of labial hemangioma in a male patient, treated by the injection of sclerosing solution of ethanolamine oleate with total remission of the lesion. In this case, it was possible to safely promote involution of the lesion safely through a nonsurgical procedure, favoring the patient's postoperative comfort and aesthetic appearance.
