A palatal haemangioma in a child.
Haemangiomas are the commonest benign tumours of the head and neck in childhood, but they are extremely rate on the palate. We report a case of a palatal haemangioma presenting with feeding difficulties in a young infant. Clinical diagnosis and pathological features are discussed and we suggest a classification which may help in the diagnosis of these cases.
