Hemangioma is mostly seen in the head and neck region, particularly in the tongue and buccal mucosa. Although the mainstay of treatment for oral hemangioma is surgical excision, other therapies such as injection of sclerosant agents, laser therapy, systemic corticosteroids, and cryotherapy have also been used. Sclerotherapy is one of the most useful treatments because of its high efficacy and ability to preserve the surrounding healthy tissue. We report a large oral hemangioma treated by polidocanol sclerotherapy. After treatment, the tumor shrank and chief complaints such as biting the tongue resolved. Our results indicate that sclerotherapy with polidocanol is a safe, easy, and effective treatment for extensive oral hemangioma.
