Juvenile hemangioendothelioma: report of a case and review of the literature.
A solitary juvenile hemangioendothelioma on the maxillary gingiva of a newborn white male has been presented. No recurrence or evidence of systemic involvement has been noted in the 18 months following excision. The literature was reviewed with emphasis on the varying location and behavior of the lesion and the methods of treatment. Simple excision of the isolated, histologically benign neoplasm is recommended provided adequate follow-up is assured.
