Intralesional Sclerotherapy Cures Unusual Presentation of Hemangioma in a Child.

ABSTRACT

Hemangiomas are benign tumors made up of blood vessels. They usually regress spontaneously within 9 years of age. Hemangioma of retropharyngeal space is a rare entity. History, digital palpation, computed tomography (CT) and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) clinches the diagnosis. We want to report a case of retropharyngeal hemangioma in a 33-month-old female child who presented with respiratory distress. She was diagnosed and treated successfully in our department.
