A member asked:

Could hemangioma in the mouth turn into cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very doubtful: Hemangioms can spontaneously regress and or disappear. This is especially true in children. There is a very rare condition called a hemangiosarcoma, but i've only seen one in 40 yr of medical practice and hundreds of hemangiomas.

Dr Hinson agreed
