  • Title: Diagnosis and treatment of vascular lesions of the lip.
    Author: Van Doorne L, De Maeseneer M, Stricker C, Vanrensbergen R, Stricker M.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2002 Dec; 40(6):497-503. PubMed ID: 12464208.
    Abstract:
    Many vascular lesions involve the lip. We present the clinical and imaging findings of vascular lesions, including haemangiomas and vascular malformations. We review the changing role of surgery and other treatments in the management of each type of lesion. Haemangiomas are treated surgically only when lip function is substantially impaired. Superselective embolisation is the treatment of choice for arteriovenous malformations, whereas capillary-venous malformations are best treated by operation together with intralesional injection of fibrosing agents. Capillary malformations are usually treated with laser.
