Hemangiomas are an interesting group of lesions which affect many anatomical structures of the human body. Interest today is confined to head and neck lesions which can occur in the infant, child or adult. Benign lesions affect the great majority of patients as contrasted to malignant ones. Diagnosis of the superficial lesions is usually made by inspection and palpation while additional diagnostic procedures (radiological studies and surgical exploration) may be indicated in patients with deep lesions.
