Capillary Hemangioma of Gingiva Mimicking as Pyogenic Granuloma
Journal Title: Otolaryngology International - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Capillary hemangioma is benign proliferation of blood vessels that primarily occurs during childhood. Pyogenic granuloma and capillary haemangioma are well known and commonly occurring benign vascular lesions of the oral cavity. Pyogenic ulcerative granuloma is known to show a striking predilection for the gingiva and capillary hemangioma frequently occurs in the lips, cheek, and tongue. The gingival occurrence of capillary hemangioma is considered relatively rare. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of benign tumor occurring on the gingiva which was clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma and histopathologically proved to be a capillary hemangioma. The clinical diagnosis of such an uncommon occurrence can be quite challenging as they sometimes may mimic benign as pyogenic granuloma Otorhinolaryngologist should therefore be aware of these lesions when making a diagnosis and attempts at excision of apparently innocent lesions may result in serious bleeding.
