“…In this study, venous malformations were found in 30 patients, with the main complaints being lumps in 30% (9 cases), aesthetic 50% (15 cases), bleeding in 16% (5 cases), and some phleboliths appeared in 3% (1 case) in several areas. This is suitable with the epidemiological study conducted by Dubois et al that the main complaints of venous malformations are lumps with a percentage of 44% (23 cases), aesthetics with a percentage of 35% (18 cases), and bleeding with a percentage of 17% (9 cases) ( (Soman et al, 2020); (Hussein & Malguria, 2020)).…”

This observational retrospective study conducted at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) in Bandung from January 2019 to February 2023 aimed to characterise oral hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Out of 52 medical records analysed, infantile hemangioma was the most common type (17%), typically presenting between ages 13 to 24 years. Predominantly located around the lip, tongue, and buccal mucosa, it seldom caused bleeding or pain, with women being more affected. Treatment often involved sclerotic agent injections. Venous malformations accounted for 58% of vascular malformations, showing similar age of presentation and distribution as hemangiomas, and were also treated with sclerotic agents. Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment are crucial due to the diverse nature of these anomalies. Early detection using imaging techniques like ultrasound and CT angiography is imperative, given the potential impact on patients, including pain, swelling, and cosmetic concerns, particularly in the head and neck area. However, treatment approaches vary based on factors such as type and size, necessitating further research to refine diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and optimise patient outcomes.

“…Large, persistent hemangioma may cause physical disfigurement, functional disturbance, for which treatment becomes mandatory. Administration of systemic corticosteroids, intralesional injection of sclerosing agents, electrocoagulation, cryosurgery, laser therapy, embolization, and surgical excision are some of the treatment modalities practiced for hemangioma 1 , 14 – 18 .…”

Introduction: Hemangioma is a common benign vascular tumor. However, bleeding cavernous hemangioma of the lower lip are a rare condition. Case presentation: A 67-year-old female presented with bleeding from the lower lip. The bleeding increased with palpation. A clinical diagnosis of hemangioma of the lower lip was made. It was difficult to localize with ultrasound. It was explored and excised successfully. Clinical discussion: Hemangioma can be superficial, deep, or mixed. Generally, hemangioma involute spontaneously. Bleeding hemangioma causing functional disturbances need to be treated, for which various modalities are available, including excision. Conclusion: Hemangioma of the lip is a benign tumor of vascular origin. In selected cases, excision can be performed.
