Resumo: A 40-day-old white skinned male newborn went to the Oral Diagnosis Clinic due to a reddish discoloration in the upper lip, since birth, which progressed to an ulceration. The lesion consisted in a red papular proliferation with a crateriform ulcer without infiltration. These features led to the diagnosis of ulcerated hemangioma. An antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) protocol was used to prevent ulcer progression and accelerate the repair process. After 5 aPDT sessions, the ulcer healed completely, and the follow-up of 4 months showed no signs of recurrence despite the persistence of the hemangioma. Ulceration of hemangiomas is a common complication, occurring most frequently in anogenital region, followed by neck and lower lip. These ulcers use to heal slowly, causing pain and scar. Management with aPDT can accelerate wound healing providing comfort and better aesthetic results.
