Hemangiomasare benign tumors of bloodvessel characterized by hyperplasia of venous and capillary structures embedded in the submucosal connective tissue. Most hemangiomas are observed in the head and neck region; however, the oral cavity is a rare location and palatal hemangiomas are uncommon with an occurrence of less than 3% of oral hemangiomas. We report a rare location of hemangioma on the soft palate in a 25-year-old man. The lesion was diagnosed by histopathology after a biopsy and the patient underwent a total surgical excision. And by a literature review we will describe the clinical, histological, therapeutic features and the prognosis of this rare tumor.
