Introduction And Importance:
Spontaneous and massive gingival bleeding is a rare clinical symptom that can lead to severe morbidity, particularly when associated with systemic diseases such as hemophilia. Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a vascular lesion capable of causing massive gingival bleeding.
Case Presentation:
A 2-year-old male presented with a gradually enlarging lump on the left cheek over 5 months, accompanied by recurrent bleeding. The patient had a history of hemophilia B and prior treatment.
Clinical Discussion:
Massive recurrent gingival bleeding associated with ABC and hemophilia represents a clinical challenge. Management must focus on preventing complications from severe blood loss. Selective embolization provides an effective therapeutic option in such cases.
Conclusion:
Selective embolization is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for preventing severe complications in patients with ABC and hemophilia, offering a valuable alternative to invasive surgical intervention.
