Hemangiomas are among the most common tumors found in children and are characterized by an excess of blood vessels. They most often affect the area of the head and neck, occur with greater frequency among women and Caucasians, and can be found in the oral cavity-especially on the lips, tongue, or mucosa. Clinically, hemangiomas present as asymptomatic red or blue-colored lesions that grow rapidly and are capable of spontaneous regression. When they are found on the tongue, they can result in clinical problems as well as recurrent trauma due to biting of the tongue and tooth-brushing, resulting in bleeding, obstruction of the upper airways, and difficulty with chewing, deglutition, and speaking. The purpose of this article was to present a case study of a 4-year-old child with a diagnosis of hemangioma of the tongue, emphasizing the oral changes found as a result of this lesion, as well as the dental treatment used to minimize these changes.
血管瘤是儿童中最常见的肿瘤之一，其特征是血管过多。它们最常影响头颈部区域，在女性和白种人中更为常见，并且可出现在口腔中，尤其是嘴唇、舌头或黏膜上。临床上，血管瘤表现为无症状的红色或蓝色病变，生长迅速且能够自发消退。当它们出现在舌头上时，由于咬舌和刷牙可导致临床问题以及反复创伤，从而引起出血、上呼吸道阻塞以及咀嚼、吞咽和说话困难。本文的目的是介绍一名4岁诊断为舌部血管瘤患儿的病例研究，强调由此病变导致的口腔变化，以及为尽量减少这些变化而采用的牙科治疗。
