• A large hemangioma of the tongue was initially treated with superselective embolization using polyvinyl alcohol foam (Ivalon) and absorbable gelatin sponge (Gelfoam) particulates. A marked reduction in vascularity with deflation of the lesion occurred. Subsequent surgery to ablate the residual tumor was canceled due to the patient's request and satisfaction with the initial procedure. Evaluation over the following year revealed no regrowth or symptomatology. This case demonstrates that, in selected cases, large hemangiomas may respond satisfactorily to superselective embolization and may obviate the need for surgical intervention.(Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1986;112:96-98) |
