Submandibular venous hemangioma: Case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Hemangiomas of the submandibular space are very rare. Only 11 cases have been reported in the English literature, all of which were cavernous hemangiomas. In this report, we describe the case of a venous hemangioma in a 70-year-old woman. Ultrasound examination revealed a lobulated, homogeneous, hypoechoic mass, and minimal flow was detected on power Doppler evaluation. The mass and the submandibular gland were surgically excised, and the endothelium was found to be positive for CD31 and D2-40 markers, consist… Show more

“…There were no symptoms of nasal obstruction, which might be due the small size of the mass. Most nonmalignant lesions have characteristic appearances, but definitive diagnosis is achieved with biopsy or culture Imaging techniques such as computerized tomography scan and magnetic resonance scan will reveal anatomic localization and extension of the tumor 5,7,8. If the lesion is small, excisional biopsy itself is often curative 5…”

“…Most venous hemangiomas are treated by complete surgical excision because these tumors are typically large and do not regress 8,9. Surgery should be based on suspected pathology if not pathologic diagnosis before the surgery as the removal of hemangioma requires adequate hemostasis.…”

“…However, the internal flow of the tumor together with the lack of a significant increase of blood flow on CDFI after compression may have been due to the venous blood supply causing relatively slow blood flow. 16 We performed CEUS to further clarify the perfusion pattern. CEUS confirmed extremely slow blood flow in the anechoic area, and the characteristic “slow in and slow out” enhancement pattern was clearly shown.…”

“…The diagnosis can be arduous in this type of benign tumors especially due to their localization (10). Previous studies in parotid glands show the efficacy of doppler ultrasound as first diagnostic step, followed by MRIimaging where further details can be seen (13).…”
