“…Conventional angiography can play an important role in preoperative planning for small calvarial tumors, and in embolization for large calvarial tumors 1) . The angiography shows increased vascularity in the area of the lesion associated with feeder vessels, and may not always show the true nature of the lesion because the dye may be excreted through the abundant gaps in the endothelium of the cavernous hemangioma before the late pool filling has a chance to occur 19,21) . Physical examination of a hemangioma may reveal a reddish blue, firm lesion that may or may not be tender 10) .…”

Hemangiomas are benign congenital lesion which has endothelial origin, but still evidence of its origin is in dilemma as few writers consider it as a true neoplasm and on the other hand as a hamartomatous lesion. The frequency of central hemangioma in jaws is less. Clinically, the patient may be asymptomatic or there may be the presence of pulsatile bleeding, slow growing bluish mass, mobile teeth, and deranged dentition, early dental exfoliation and discomfort in normal life hence on clinical basis the mucosal and soft tissue lesions can be easily diagnosed, but intrabony lesions are difficult to discriminate. Its clinical and radiographic features are comprehensive; therefore, a suitable diagnosis is mandatory. Treating central hemangioma is very difficult because of its profusive vascularity. Out of various remedies, available surgery is being most frequently used. In this article, we report a 22-year-old male patient with central hemangioma located in right body of the mandible with ambiguous clinical features, radiographical, and histopathological features.

“…Though they are unusual, it is often the only reliable sign of a rare haemangioma in the thyroid [1]. Shpitzer et al, have suggested MRI, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and red blood cell (RBC) scans for the preoperative diagnosis of haemangiomas [13]. The presence of heterogenous signal intensity and serpentine pattern on MRI is considered to be highly suggestive of cavernous haemangioma…”
