A New Concept in the Treatment of Oral Venous Malformation using Sclerotherapy
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Vascular malformations accounts for approximately 7% of all benign tumors, the majority are seen in the head and neck region. Vascular malformations (VM) are a general term used to describe a group of lesions formed by an anomaly of the capillary, venous, lymphatic, and arterial system. Case report: We present a case of localized dome-shaped swelling measuring approximately 4 cm × 3.5 cm in the right buccal mucosa opposite to cusp of 1st premolar and 2nd molar. Lesion around 2-3 mm below parotid duct opening, bright red in color with irregular pebbled surface, and the surrounding area appeared pale pink in color, no visible pulsation. On palpation, it was soft to firm in consistency, immobile, and nontender. There was no apparent discharge nor palpable thrill and bruits, but the swelling blanched on compression with a glass slide. Based on the history, clinical features and color Doppler ultrasound (US), it was diagnosed as venous malformation. Conclusion: The management of vascular lesions is challenging. Though there are various treatment options available but sclerotherapy, proves to be an effective way to treat them with limited amount of armamentarium, cost effectiveness and minimal complication.
