title: Management of lingual hemangioma in a case with von Willebrand disease.
abstract: Hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumors and von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. In this article, we report a 21-year-old female who had von Willebrand disease presenting with 1x1 cm lesion of the tongue. The lesion was located at the anterior one-third in midline tongue throughout full-thickness. The patient was administered cryoprecipitate preoperatively. Then the lesion was excised under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed a hemangioma. No complication such as bleeding or infection after the operation was observed.
