Abstract

She was treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection under general anesthesia but no change in size of the tumor was observed. Oral beta blocker, propranolol, 1 mg/kg body weight, was given at three months. After two months, no significant change in tumor size was seen. The tumor was managed by surgical excision. There was no effect of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and oral beta blockers. Even with surgical excision, there was recurrence of tumor.
