“…There were also high risks of bleeding and aspiration if the hemangioma was damaged during airway manipulation. Bleeding may have hindered the clear visualization of anatomical structures, making intubation even more challenging [ 2 ]. As a result, we decided that it was important to secure sufficient apnea time.…”

Background: Giant lip hemangioma is a rare disease that may cause difficulty in preoxygenation and ventilation when using facemasks and intubation during general anesthesia induction.Case: A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was planned for a 77-year-old woman. The patient had a giant lower lip hemangioma that was 12 x 5 x 5 cm, which made preoxygenation and ventilation through a face mask impossible and put her at risk of hemangioma rupture. We preoxygenated her through a high-flow nasal cannula. Following propofol and succinylcholine administration, we intubated the patient with a video laryngoscope without desaturation, hemangioma rupture, or CO 2 retention.Conclusions: High-flow nasal cannula is a useful tool when difficult intubation is expected in patients who have problems using conventional facemasks.

“…Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of vascular origin. Hemangiomas located around the airway can significantly increase the difficulty of endotracheal intubation as they occupy space and might rupture [ 1 , 2 ].…”
