- Abstract
- Vascular malformations are structural abnormalities in blood vessels with normal endothelial cell turnover, and are known as one of vascular abnormalities along with hemangiomas. Vascular malformations can occur anywhere in the body and are relatively rare in the oral cavity. It presents symptoms such as bleeding, pain, and swelling, and can cause functional and aesthetic problems. Treatment methods for vascular malformations include surgical excision, Nd:YAG and CO2 laser therapy, embolization and sclerotherapy. In this study, three cases of vascular malformations in the soft tissues of the oral cavity were identified. We report three cases who were simply treated using sclerotherapy with a review of the literature. Sclerotherapy using a sclerosant showed successful results, and known complications were not observed. In properly selected patients with vascular malformation, sclerotherapy can be considered as the first treatment.
