I. INTRODUCTION B. Diagnosis:
Capillary Hemangioma
An Angioma is a tumor of which the cells likely to
form blood vessels or lymph vessels. When the tumours are
made of lymph vessels they are known as lymphangioma
and when composed of blood vessels they are called as
hemangiomas. They are mostly seen at birth and are
presentthroughout the life. Females are commonly affected1-

. Based on microscopic appearance it is classified as
capillary, cavernous, mixed, sclerosing variety1 .The
incidence of intraoral capillary hemangioma is infrequent
and its topographical presentation on the palatal mucosa and
gingiva are extremely rare1. Theyare seen as cutaneous,
intramuscular, mucosal andintraosseuos1lesions. Imbalance
in angiogenesis has a role in the development of
hemangioma6.The lesions present a diagnostic dilemma to
the clinicians, so histological andmicroscopic evaluations
are very essential for a final diagnosis1.

II. CASE REPORT

The patient is a 50 years old female who was presented


to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department complaint of a
lesion which was painful and bleeding on provocation on the
mandibular right anterior attached gingiva which extends Fig. 1: PRE-OPERATIVE PICTURE
from mandibular incisors to canine region.History divulges
excision of lesion5 months back in same region and recurred
again.

IV. DISCUSSION

Hemangioma constitutes 7% of all benign tumors in


Fig. 2: INTRA- OPERATIVE PICTURE infancy and childhood1 and ismore recognized at an early
age, seen mostly in females3.The term hemangioma is
commonly used to narrate an immense diversity of
vasoformative tumors. Vascular malformations are present
since birth.The lesions occur in oral and maxillofacial region
including palate, gingiva,lip,jaw bones and salivary glands1.
The occurrence of hemangioma on gingiva is rare5. Clinical
features of hemangioma are bleeding, pain, destruction of
bone or expansion of bone, early exfoliation of primary
tooth, root resorption2. Hemangioma have similarities with
other lesions. Differential diagnosis of hemangioma includes
pyogenic granuloma, epulis, talengectasia and peripheral
ossifying fibroma2.Histologically the capillary hemangioma
often resembles pyogenic granuloma, however presence of
certain features like intercellular edema and chronic
inflammatory cell infiltration are very common in pyogenic
granuloma but are rare in capillary hemangioma .In addition
Hemangioma may be confused with the vascular appearing
lesions of face or oral cavity which may be also represents
the sturge- weber syndrome10.Capillary hemangioma arising
on attached gingiva is extremely unique entity. The same
observation was seen by Mishra MB et al in his study17. The
treatment dependson clinicaland anatomical features and
considerations. Angiography was of importance in
delineation of the vascular supply and confirmation of the
histological diagnosis2.Microembolization is a good method

recurrence noted and the patient was periodically observed The surgeons have to excise the lesion and should
