Summary
Central hemangioma, a rare bone tumor, typically affects the skull and vertebrae. This report details a rare case of central hemangioma occurring in the mandible, highlighting the need for early diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Oncology
- Vascular Tumors
Background:
- Central hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular neoplasm.
- These tumors rarely occur in the jaw bones, with a predilection for the craniofacial skeleton.
Observation:
- A rare case of central hemangioma of the mandible is presented.
- The tumor's location in the mandible poses a diagnostic challenge and risk of hemorrhage.
Findings:
- Central hemangioma of the mandible is exceptionally rare.
- Early detection is crucial due to the potential for severe bleeding with minor trauma.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of considering central hemangioma in the differential diagnosis of mandibular bone lesions.
- Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are vital to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage.
