A large venous malformation of the tongue, too extensive for full surgical removal, presented significant challenges. This case highlights successful management strategies for previously incurable vascular malformations.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Venous malformations (VMs) are congenital vascular anomalies that can cause significant morbidity.
  • Large VMs, particularly in the tongue, pose complex management challenges due to their size and location.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a massive tongue venous malformation extending beyond the oral cavity.
  • The malformation's extensive nature precluded complete surgical excision.
  • Immediate issues included airway compromise risk, functional deficits (speech, eating, drinking), and discomfort.

Findings:

  • Despite the inability to achieve complete surgical resection, a multidisciplinary management approach was implemented.
  • Conservative and interventional strategies were employed to control symptoms and improve quality of life.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of tailored, multimodal treatment for complex venous malformations.
  • It demonstrates that even seemingly incurable vascular anomalies can be effectively managed, improving patient outcomes.
