To explain this problem, the routine diagnostics CT and angio-CT scan was applicated. Angiography confi rmed well vascularized tumor supplied from facial and palatine arteries. Therapy based on the obliteration of tumor vessels with the glue-tissue was applied. As the next step the tumour was surgically extirpated. The application of this method gave a very good, simply bloodless operation effects. It allows a very good, simple and fully precise tumor extirpation.
