| الوصف: | Introduction Hemangioma is a common benign tumor of blood vessels, that rarely develops in the oropharynx. Cavernous hemangioma is characterized by thin-walled dilated blood vessels lined with endothelial cells. Case report We report a case of a 46 years-old woman who was admitted to our department with a complaint of chronic dysphonia and dysphagia. Clinical examination, radiological investigations and thyroid scintigraphy found a mass of the tongue base, compatible with a lingual thyroid. Treatment consisted of surgical excision through a cervical approach. The histopathological examination found a cavernous hemangioma. Conclusion Though hemangioma is very rare in the base of tongue, it should be a part of the differential diagnosis while investigating a lesion in the oral cavity and the oropharynx, alongside the other possibilities. Highlights • Although hemangioma is one of the most common soft tissue tumors of the head and neck region, it remains relatively rare in the oral cavity, and is particularly rare in the tongue base. • Cavernous hemangioma can mimic clinical and radiologic aspects of other tumoral lesions. In this Case, thyroid scintigraphy wrongly diagnosed the lingual tumor as an ectopic thyroid. • There are many treatment modalities reported in the literature for head and neck hemangiomas, including a wait and watch policy, corticosteroid treatment, embolization, electrolysis, sclerotherapy, laser photocoagulation, immunomodulatory therapy, and surgery. |
