Intraosseous hemangiomas are benign lesions, occurring often in vertebra and skull. These lesions can present in the head and neck region being the next most common site with a predominance of mandible. There are approximately seventy intraosseous hemangiomas of mandible in literature reported to date. We present an intraosseous hemangioma of the symphysis mandible. We performed a block resection of the mass preserving the mandibular integrity with no complications. There were no recurrences in the follow-up period of 24 months.
