Hemangiomas affecting the soft tissues of the oral cavity represent the most common growths in infancy and childhood. They are usually present at birth but become clinically obvious in late infancy or early childhood. Treating those lesions pose a challenge to the surgeon. This paper presents three cases of extensive hemangiomas of the tongue which were treated successfully by circumferential ligation.
