Abstract

Ashwag Mohammed Alwagdani

Hemangioma is a developmental vascular malformation capillaries that do not involute but persist and grow very slowly over years. The diagnosis of hemangiomas is mainly based on clinical evaluation. They tend to occur in the oral cavity, on the tongue, buccal mucosa and labial mucosa. Isolated hemangiomas in the tonsillar tissue is a rare occurrence. In this we report a case of adult tonsillar hemangioma of left side associated with recurrent tonsillitis. She was effectively managed surgically with preoperative embolization.
