abstract ={Hemangiomas require appropriate treatments with controlled intraoperative bleeding. Even for a small
hemangioma, the treatment is usually provided under general anesthesia to control bleeding. However, in
the case of the patients who are at high risk of surgery under general anesthesia, a surgical treatment method
must be considered under local anesthesia. We performed polypectomy for the resection of a small tongue
hemangioma in an 88-year-old patient under local anesthesia. The device for polypectomy is suitable for
the resection of a small hemangioma of the tongue, even for a patient who is at risk for surgery under general
anesthesia.}
