Abstrakt: Hemangioma is a proliferating mass of blood vessels. Its occurrence in gingiva is rare. The diagnosis and treatment of hemangioma is complex, and any attempt to carry out biopsy/surgical excision may lead to fatal consequences due to severe hemorrhage. A rare case of gingival hemangioma with port wine nevi of face is reported. The case is of periodontal interest because the lesion occurred on the gingiva, a reliable diagnostic approach (Ultrasound Spectra Doppler Flow) was used and a conservative treatment using a sclerosing agent was employed.
