Palatal Cavernous Hemangioma Associated with Cleft Palate

Abstract

Hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor, most common located in head and neck that occurs on the palate. Hemangiomas have been subdivided into two microscopic types: Capillary and cavernous that cavernous hemangioma is less common. We report here a 53 years-old female with palatal pain, ulcer and bilateral cleft palate. The Histologic diagnosis of ulcer biopsy revealed cavernous hemangioma.
