The man~gement of vascular lesions such as haemangiomas frequently present difficult choices between various treatment modalities. Circumstances may limit the, number of options available for the surgeon. This article describes the circumstances, investigations, difficult choices, and eventual treatment of a case of a mandibular haemangioma. It is concluded that for a medium sized haemangioma such as in this case, in the ~bsence of facilities to embolize it, surgical excision may be safely carned out provided that proper investigations and precautions have been conducted. An angiogram is of utmost important in determining the feeding vessels and is very important before any surgical procedure is attempted.
