The vascular origin diseases occurring in the oral and maxillofacial region can be divided into hemangiomas and vascular malformation.
They are rare and early lesions are not easy to diagnosis, so they may be misdiagnosed as clinicians, or the method and timing of
treatment may be inappropriate. For 10 years, from August 2005 to August 2015, we analyzed the clinical records, diagnosis, treatment,
and prognosis of 23 patients with hemangioma or vascular malformation confirmed by clinical, histopathological or radiological examination
of maxillofacial lesions at department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Pusan National University Hospital and Pusan National University
Dental Hospital. Chief complants of patients were mainly swelling, mass, and spot-like lesion on various intraoral sites. Treatments were
performed with excision, embolization, sclerotherapy, depending on each lesions condition. Arteriovenous malformation cases were more
frequently recurred than other lesions. Prognosis of lesions were relatively good but close observation should be needed.
