Cavernous hemangioma of tongue - A rare case report

Abstract

Hemangiomas are the developmental vascular abnormalities, out of which more than 50% occur in the head and neck region, especially on buccal mucosa, lips, tongue, and palate. Cavernous hemangiomas are characterised by irregular, deep, dermal blood-filled channels having tangles of thin walled cavernous vessels or sinusoids, separated by a scanty connective tissue stroma. The present case report is a case of cavernous hemangioma present on the tongue in a female patient.
