Aile Hekimliğinde Konuşma Bozukluğu Şikayeti: Nadir Bir Olgu Dilde Hemanjiom

Abstract

Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the head and neck region, but are rarely seen in the oral cavity. Tongue localized hemangiomas are encountered in 7.8% of cases. Depending on their size, hemangiomas located on the tongue can cause recurrent spontaneous bleeding, pain, speech and chewing disorders and shortness of breath. In this article, a case of hemangioma of the tongue characterized by speech disorder in a 7-year-old boy who presented to our family medicine outpatient clinic is presented and discussed in the light of the literature.
