Low-flow vascular lesions consist in a blood vessel's abnormal development, with clinical appearance at the birth, commonly affecting lips, tongue, and oral mucosa. Herein, we report a treatment case of a large low-flow vascular lesion in the lower lip by sclerosis in a pediatric patient. A female patient, 5 years old with light brown skin color, presenting purple lesion on the lower lip with softened consistency and approximately 35-mm diameter, with history of unsuccessful sclerosis attempt history, was referred to the authors’ oral medicine service. Clinical diagnosis was established, and the treatment started after blood examination confirms normal limits. The sclerosing agent of choice was monoethanolamine oleate. After 3 periodical infiltrations of 0.5 mL, 0.8 mL, and 1 mL, the lesion disappeared. No signs of recurrence on the lesion were found during the follow-up period of 6 months, and the patient was then released.
