Abstract :Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the head and neck region, but are rarely seen in the oral cavity. Tongue localized hemangiomas are encountered in 7.8% of cases. Depending on their size, hemangiomas located on the tongue can cause recurrent spontaneous bleeding, pain, speech and chewing disorders and shortness of breath. In this article, a case of hemangioma of the tongue characterized by speech disorder in a 7-year-old boy who presented to our family medicine outpatient clinic is presented and discussed in the light of the literature.
