| local.description.resumo | Varices are benign blood vessel lesions that are common in the head and neck regions. The aim of this case report is to highlight an uncommon case of gingival varices and its diagnosis and management. This is the second time that a case of varices has been reported at this site. Monoethanolamine oleate (MO) at a 2.5% concentration was used as the treatment. A 66-year-old woman presented spontaneous gingival bleeding in the region of the mandibular first and second left molars. A macula and gingival enlargement on the interproximal papillae were observed. No bleeding was observed during the oral examination. The clinical diagnosis was varices. The patient was given two sessions of sclerotherapy with 2.5% MO applied to the lesion, with 15 days between applications. The lesion showed total clinical resolution, and the patient is in follow-up. This paper reports a rare case of varices in the gingival mandible, with the diagnosis based on the patient's age, time evolution of the lesion's, and its clinical characteristics. The concentration of 2.5% MO is safe and efficient, a conservative treatment, and easy to apply. | |
