OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to report and discuss the results from treatment of benign oral vascular lesions with ethanolamine oleate. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-seven patients with 30 examples of oral vascular malformation, hemangioma, or varix were treated with intralesional injections of 1.25% or 2.5% ethanolamine oleate at an interval of 15 days between each application. The lesions were divided into 2 categories: (1) lesions of 20 mm or less and (2) those greater than 20 mm. Subsequently, the Mann-Whitney test was used a means of statistical analysis. RESULTS: Although the number of injections varied from patient to patient, all lesions responded to the treatment, showing total clinical regression. Lesions of 20 mm or less needed a lesser number of applications than those greater than 20 mm (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Ethanolamine oleate is a 100% effective sclerosant agent for treatment of benign oral vascular lesions. In this study, no difference was found between the 2 concentrations applied.
