J Craniofac Surg. 2020 Sep;31(6):e600-e602. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000006666.

Abstract

Infantile hemangiomas arising in the palate are rare. The authors describe a case of ulcerated infantile hemangioma of the hard palate with feeding difficulty. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of immunohistochemically diagnosed palatal infantile hemangioma successfully treated using oral propranolol.
