Central Hemangioma Involving the Mandible: A Rare Condition: Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Intraosseous hemangiomas are quite a rare condition and those occurring in the mandible often pose a diagnostic dilemma to the Dental surgeon as they present with variable and atypical radiographic manifestations. Biopsy or surgical excision of the lesion can result in severe haemorrhage, leading even to death; therefore accurate clinical and radiographic diagnosis is essential before any surgical intervention is started. In this paper, we discuss a case of central hemangioma of the mandible occurring in a 17-year-old male patient, angiography was used for diagnosis and was treated with surgical excision.

 İntraosseöz hemanjiomlar ender görülen bir durumdur ve mandibulada görülen hemanjiyomlar sıklıkla dişhekimleri için değişken ve atipik radyografik bulgularla ortaya çıktığı için tanı ikilemi oluştururlar. Biyopsi ya da lezyonun cerrahi olarak eksizyonu ciddi kanamalara neden olabilir, ölümle bile sonuçlanabilir; bu nedenle herhangi bir cerrahi işleme başlamadan önce doğru klinik ve radyolojik tanı gereklidir. Bu yazıda, 17 yaşındaki erkek hastada mandibulanın santral hemanjiyom olgusu tartışılmıştır. Anjiyografi tanı için kullanılmış ve cerrahi eksizyon ile tedavi edilmiştir.
