Abstract: Objective: To investigate the surgical treatment of hypertrophic capillary malformation in the head and neck region. Methods: Nine patients with the length of the hypertrophic capillary malformation bigger than 7cm were included in this study. Patients' demographic and clinical data were analyzed. Results: Of the 9 patients, 5 patients were female, and 5 were older than 40. The lesion mainly involved the middle and inferior part of the head and neck region. Lower lip was involved in 5 cases, 2 were along with squamous cell carcinoma. Partial resection was performed in 6 cases and the defection was reconstructed with local flap. Total resection was performed in 3 cases and the defection was reconstructed with skin grafting, free flap, and pedicle flap. The patient's facial appearance and masticatory function was improved significantly. Conclusion: After patients with proliferative capillary malformations underwent surgical treatment, their facial morphology, function, and life satisfaction were improved significantly.
