Abstract:
Intraosseous hemangiomas in the jaw area are rare pathological changes that occur in the mandible, particularly in the premolar and molar region. Clinically, a slowly increasing painless swelling is typical. Recurrent spontaneous bleeding and paresthesia may also occur. Radiologically, osteolytic zones with a soap bubble-like appearance are usually seen. The current classification of the "International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA)" distinguishes hemangiomas from vascular malformations. Hemangiomas are true, benign endothelial tumors, and vascular malformations are hamartoma-like changes that are already present at birth. In the present case, a 36-year-old patient presented to his dentist with increasing numbness of the left lower lip.
