A 19-year-old girl with a large cavernous hemangioma in the mental region is presented. Bilateral facial and mental arteries were ligated for the purpose of restricting the blood supply to the tumor, to which a radium irrdadiation was performed. As the tumor considerably decreased its size two months later, exstirpation was done with successful results, being associated with transfusion of blood and a large qauntity of Ringer's solution.
