Résumé:
The hemangioma is, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a benign
vascular neoplasm, characterized by abnormal proliferation of blood vessels. It can
be congenital or traumatic etiology prevalent in head and neck, and can affect the
skin, mucous membranes and bone. Clinically it presents as a macula, blister or
nodule whose color varies from deep red to purple according to its location and depth
in the tissue. This study aims to report a case of cavernous hemangioma in a tongue
treated with therapeutic sclerosis with weekly injections of monoethanolamine oleate
(Ethamolin), as coadjuvants to surgical treatment. A 12-year-old male patient
attended from Crato-CE in Center for Dental Specialties (CEO) with a
histopathological report of Cavernous Hemangioma in the tongue. The patient's
mother reported that the child has had the lesion since birth, with an increase in size
and color change throughout the patient's life. Clinically, the lesion was swollen, with
several diffuse sessile papillary lesions, asymptomatic and with a color ranging from
deep red to purple. Through a precise diagnosis and adequate therapeutic
management, the case has been undergoing preservation for 1 year and 7 months,
without signs of relapse, improving its psychosocial behavior, phonation and
swallowing, and a satisfactory aesthetic result.
