| Abstract;A 16-year-old male with hemangioma from the oropharynx to the cervical esophagus was reported. He had complained of pharyngeal swallowing pain for 2 months, and subsequently presented with oral bleeding at our clinic. Endoscopy and MRI revealed a large hemangioma in the oropharynx, hypopharynx and cervical esophagus. Due to its location and extension, sclerotherapy with polidocanol was carried out. The patient has since received additional sclerotherapy, and the hemangioma has been sufficiently reduced. Severe complications were not observed. Sclerotherapy is a relatively simple and effective method, that is a valuable and promising treatment for hemangioma in selected cases. (author abst.) |
