Abstract

Oral and maxillofacial hemangioma and vascular malformations account for nearly 60% of all the lesions in the body and are still great challenges for clinicians because of their unknown etiology and difficulties in management. Successful therapy of these lesions now requires cooperative or multidisciplinary approaches including surgical procedures, embolization through interventional radiology, scleorosing therapy, laser therapy, psychological support and others. Different treatment modalities are mandatory for different primary sites, clinical types and stages. This paper summarized current comprehensive and sequential approaches to oral and maxillofacial hemangioma and vascular anomalies based on the authors’ experiences and relevant literatures, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary approaches. Hopefully, with the unraveling of the causative factors of vascular anomalies, more effective and specific treatment will emerge for management of these lesions.
