Abstract
A hemangioma frequently occurs on the tongue, lip, buccal mucosa, and gingiva in the oral region,though it relatively rarely seen on the palate. We report a case of capillary hemangioma found on the palate of a 2-year-10-month-old boy. He was referred to our department with the chief complaint of a tumor on the palate and a hemangioma was noted on the palatal side of the upper deciduous incisors.We performed surgical resection and the mass was extirpated. The postoperative course was uneventful. Although there was no evidence of recurrence at 6 months after surgery, careful follow-up examinations will be necessary until the upper permanent incisors erupt.
