Abstract

Intraosseous haemagiomas usually occur in the vertebral column, and are rare in the facial bones. Mandibular intraosseous haemangioma makes up less than 1% of all intraosseous tumours. We describe here the presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome in a 15-year-old boy who presented with a mandibular intraosseous haemangioma. He was treated by embolisation, en bloc resection, and immediate replacement of the mandibular segment. We also harvested the proximal tibia bone grafts and inserted four dental implants. He is well 3 years later.
