Abstract :
Hemangioma is the clinical term for a benign vascular neoplasm due to proliferation of the endothelial lining of blood vessels.
Their most frequent location is the body skin and oral mucosa. One of the treatment modalities for hemangiomas is intralesional
injection of sclerosing agents which cause the damage of blood vessels followed by their obliteration. The objective of the study was
to describe the facility of application and evaluate the efficiency of sclerotherapy with aethoxysklerol 1%. Method.The case presented
with intraoral submucosal hemangioma of the cheek was treated by intralesional injection of aethoxysklerol 3% diluted in water
for injections at a 4 : 1 ratio (0.75%) at the first appointment and 3 : 1 (1%) at the second appointment. The effect of sclerotherapy
was evaluated on the following visits in time intervals of two weeks. Results. The hemangioma disappeared without complications
after the second injection of aethoxysklerol 1%. The successful results of the study were comparable to the data of literature with
variations according to the used sclerosant agent, its concentration, the number of injections, and the intervals between each session.
Conclusion. Since sclerotherapy is a very effective, inexpensive, and easy-to-apply treatment, it should be the treatment of choice,
especially for intraoral superficial hemangiomas.
