CONCLUSION
Hemangiomas are a benign proliferation of endothelial cells that are common in the head and neck region. In the oral cavity, the lesion may involve the tongue and reach a size that can cause airway embarrassment and cause significant functional impairment. Surgical intervention, despite the inherent risk of fatal intraoperative hemorrhage, may be the only treatment of choice if other conservative measures do not produce the intended results or the rapid expansile nature of the lesion causes an imminent threat to life.
