Boiling water injection as a non-surgical alternative treatment in hemangiomas
Abstract
Objective: This paper introduce boiling water as an alternative simple treatment for hemangiomas without surgery.Methods: The patient was a 22-year-old woman with a diagnosis of high flow hemangioma based on doppler ultrasound examination. A treatment with boiling water injection was carried out in 2 stages combined with dexamethasone 0.5 mg for 10 days and 5 days after the first and second injection respectively.Results: Evaluation done 3 months after injection showed no hemangioma lesions.Conclusion: The combination of boiling water injection and corticosteroid administration in the treatment of hemangiomas ended up in satisfactory results
