Intraosseous haemangioma of the mandible: a case report.
An unusual case of an endangering intraosseous haemangioma affecting the mandible in early childhood is presented. The early diagnosis was unclear until a surgical biopsy was performed. MRI confirmed the diagnosis. Successful emergent arterial embolisation and intralesional steroid injection were undertaken to control troublesome bleeding prior to medical treatment.
