Haemangioma is a relatively common benign proliferation of blood vessels that primarily develops during childhood. Two main forms of haemangiomas are recognized: capillary and cavernous. The capillary form presents as a flat area consisting of numerous small capillaries. Cavernous hemangiomas appear as an elevated lesion of a deep red colour, and consist of large dilated sinuses filled with blood. The purpose of the study was to report the case of a haemangioma on the palate and to describe the successful treatment of this case.
