description Hemangiomas are benign tumors characterized by the proliferation of dilated blood vessels, typically capillaries and veins. They primarily occur in infancy and childhood, with the majority affecting the head and neck region. Oral hemangiomas, though relatively rare, can affect areas such as the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate. Despite their benign nature, managing vascular malformations is crucial due to potential functional loss and lifelong aesthetic concerns. This case report involves a 76-year-old woman presenting with a soft reddish-blue mass on the dorsal aspect of her tongue, causing functional impairment. While various treatment options exist for oral vascular malformations, including sclerotherapy and cryosurgery, surgical excision was chosen in this case, considering the patient's age and the associated risks of the condition.
