Abstract :
Hemangioma is a neoplasm that is rarely seen in the oral cavity. The most commonly affected facial bones are the mandible, the maxilla and the nasal bones. A case of intraosseous hemangioma, adjacent to a lower molar with periodontitis is presented. The involved tooth and the lesion were excised under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination did not reveal cellular atypia or mitotic activity. The differential diagnosis of radiolucent periapical lesions is discussed with emphasis on radiographic appearance. Intraosseous hemangioma of the mandible is a very rare pathology and this case has unique aspects like the misleading presentation, the age and sex of the patient. Removal of the involved tooth and a complete enucleation of the central hemangioma were sufficient for the treatment of this case, and there were no clinical or radiological signs of recurrence three years after the operation.
