Central cavernous hemangioma of mandible: Case report and review of literature

Abstract: Intraosseous hemangiomas are one of the rarest lesion of jaw bones (0.5–1%) occurring most commonly in vertebral column, skull bone, and rarely in mandible. Mainly occurs in the second decade of life with female: male predilection (2:1). Origin of hemangiomas is still debatable. World Health Organization considers it as a true benign neoplasm of vascular origin, and many authors believe it to be a hamartoma. It is very difficult to diagnose due to variable clinical and radiological features. A biopsy is not do… Show more

“…According to Shira and Guernsey it is a true benign neoplasm as a result of endothelial proliferation which differentiates into blood vessels. 2 Sometimes it can produce destruction of adjacent bones, making it difficult to differentiate from more common malignant tumours. Clinically and radiologically they are difficult to diagnose.…”
