Summary
Varicose veins in the buccal mucosa were successfully treated using sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine oleate. Three sessions led to complete lesion disappearance, with the patient remaining under observation.
Area of Science:
- Oral Medicine
- Vascular Lesions
- Minimally Invasive Treatments
Background:
- Buccal mucosa varicosities are common vascular anomalies.
- Sclerotherapy is a potential treatment for superficial vascular lesions.
Observation:
- A case of symptomatic buccal mucosa varicosities was presented.
- The lesions were treated using a minimally invasive sclerotherapy technique.
Findings:
- Monoethanolamine oleate effectively resolved buccal mucosa varicosities.
- Complete lesion resolution was achieved after three sclerotherapy sessions.
Implications:
- Sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine oleate offers a safe and effective treatment option for buccal mucosa varicosities.
- This approach may reduce the need for surgical intervention in managing these lesions.
