Popis: Intraoral hemangiomas are benign proliferations of blood vessels in the mucosal region, which can cause extensive bleeding during excision by conventional surgical methods. Intraoral hemangiomas are uncommon, usually seen on the lips, buccal mucosa and lateral borders of the tongue. Treatment modalities that are advocated for treating hemangiomas include sclerotherapy, embolization, laser and cryosurgery. In this case report we present a case of pedunculated hemangioma of the hard palate in a 28-year-old female patient treated by ligation of the feeder vessel.
