Abstract
Haemangiomas are the commonest benign tumours of the head and neck in childhood, but they are extremely rare on the palate. We report a case of a palatal haemangioma presenting with feeding difficulties in a yo ung infant. Clinical diagnosis and pathological features are discussed and we suggest a classification which may help in the diagnosis of th ese cases.
