Cavernous Hemangioma of Tongue in an Adult Male: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Hemangiomas are benign tumors of endothelial cells and most common tumors of the childhood but rarely found in adults. They appear a few weeks after birth and grow rapidly, and in most cases undergo involution. Hemangiomas occur more common in females than males. The treatment depends upon patient’s age, lesion location, size, and evolution stage. Here, we report a rare case of cavernous hemangioma in a 44-year-old male present on right lateral border of anterior two-thirds of tongue.
