Abstract

A case with diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma in the hard palate was
successfully treated with 4-6 weeks of high dosage prednisone (2-3 mg/kgBW /day).
Diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma was established based on physical examination.
There was a mass in the hard palate, continuously bleeding and difficult to treat. After
4-6 weeks treatment, the hemangioma regressed and never recurrent anymore.
