Abstrakt:	Vascular anomalies include a wide range of tumors and malformations. Hemangioma is the most frequent vascular defect. Hemangiomas are benign endothelial cell tumors most frequently detected in children but uncommon in adults. Most of them affect the neck and head regions but rarely involve the palate, lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa. Treatment for oral hemangiomas should begin as soon as possible because they are clinically significant. Patients are at an increased risk of developing tongue hemangiomas due to the tongue's high flexibility and muscular structure, which makes it more vulnerable to trauma and its effects. They grow and proliferate within a few weeks of birth, with the majority of their components undergoing involution. Females are more likely than males to develop hemangiomas. Hemangiomas are treated with surgery, laser therapy, radiofrequency, sclerosing agents, radiation treatment, cryosurgery, corticosteroids, embolization, electrocauterization, and interferon. When assessing treatment options for hemangiomas, it is crucial to consider various criteria, such as the lesion's hemodynamics, the patient's age, and the location, size, and feasibility of the planned procedure. This report describes a case of a 19-year-old female diagnosed with a hemangioma located on the middle third of the dorsal aspect of the right lateral border of the tongue.
