Abstract
- Hemangiomas are benign tumors in blood vessels that occur by traumatic or congenital origin. Lesions are appeared early in life,with 73%present at birth and 85%developing by the end of the first year. Head and neck hamangiomas represent about 25%~33%of all hemangiomas. Kaban and Mulliken divided vascular birthmarks into two major categories : hemangioma and vascular malformation. Case 1 was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma and the mass was excised completely and defected space was reconstructed with fat tissue. Case 2 was diagnosed definitely as traumatic A-V malformation by post-op histopathological examination and the mass was excised completely. This report describes two cases that were successfully treated by complete surgical excision for hemangioma in maxillofacial region.
