Reactive Cavernous Haemangioma Of Tongue; An Unusual Presentation

Abstract

Haemangiomas are benign vascular tumor most commonly seen in the head and neck region. Oral cavity haemangiomas are mostly seen on cheeks and upper lip with tongue being a rare finding. We present a case of tongue cavernous haemangioma which appeared as pedunculated proliferative growth on the dorsum of the tongue. Unlike usual presentation of infantile or congenital haemangioma our case presented later in the childhood and had an insidious onset hence reported as a reactive variant.
