Abstract

Epithelioid hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular lesion which most commonly appears as a nodular lesion in the head and neck area. Here, we present a rare case of nodular swelling in the dorsal aspect of the tongue in a 30 year old male for the past 3 months. Excision of growth was done and histopathological examination revealed epithelioid hemangioma of the tongue. Patient is on regular follow up and there is no evidence of recurrence.

Keywords: Benign growth of tongue; Epithelioid hemangioma; Hemangioma; Oral cavity lesions; Tongue growth; Tongue mass.
