Haemangioma is a benign neoplasm characterised by abnormal growth of blood vessels usually occurring in head and neck region. Sclerotherapy is a simple, safe, and effective procedure with minimal complications for treating low flow intraoral haemangiomas. This case report describes two cases of haemangiomas on right upper lip and right buccal mucosa that were treated with 3% intralesional sodium tetradecyl sulphate for four and five sessions respectively after colour Doppler ultrasound. The lesions were treated with favourable results. Sclerotherapy is effective in treating low flow haemangiomas as a minimally invasive alternative for surgical methods.
