“…1 They are structural anomalies in vascular apparatus components that may be clinically noticeable at birth, grow slowly in proportion to the child's growth (marked by hypertrophy), and never involute 2 and are composed of many small capillaries lined with endothelial cells supported in the connective tissue stroma and show a rapid growth phase followed by gradual involution. [3][4][5][6] Vascular malformations have been classified into many types. Mulliken and Glowacki first introduced a categorization system in 1982, and it is being used today.…”

Malformations and vascular tumors can occur anywhere on the body. Hemangiomas, or vascular tumors, are rare at birth, develop quickly during the first six months of life, involute over time, and can occasionally be harmful even though they do not always spread. Uneven vascular networks, known as vascular malformations, are identified by a certain blood vessel type. Hemangiomas is of benign origin and behavioral but, Hemangioma in the oral cavity is of clinical importance. It often mimics other lesions clinically and requires appropriate clinical diagnosis and proper management. Accurate diagnosis of the lesion plays an important role in framing the correct protocols and for delivering the correct treatment. Imaging techniques such as Ultrasound with color doppler may be needed in combination to determine the nature of the blood supply to the lesion either arterial, venous or arteriovenous malformation and can also aid with diagnosis and treatment. It is also beneficial in eliminating non vascular lesions. This paper presents one such interesting case.

“…Inflammatory hyperplasia is an umbrella term that describes reactive oral mucosa consisting of enlarged fibrous and granulation tissues, including pyogenic granuloma (PG) [ 1 ]. Pyogenic granuloma is nonneoplastic reactive hyperplasia that develops in the context of various local and systemic factors [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is an oral reactive inflammatory hyperplasia of connective tissue that can occur in response to hormonal changes and local irritation such as calculus, fractured teeth, rough dental restorations, and foreign materials. It is nonneoplastic and predominant in the second decade of life in young adult females. The most common site of involvement is the gingiva. Lesions are more common in the maxillary than mandibular gingiva and mainly occur on the facial or buccal aspect. Pyogenic granuloma rarely grows more than 2 cm in diameter and is rarely associated with bone loss. This article presents a rare case of an abnormally large pyogenic granuloma affecting both the labial and palatal gingiva sustaining occlusal trauma due to its size and associated with severe alveolar bone loss that was managed successfully with surgical excision in a 40-year-old male.

Background: Tobacco smoking statistics are alarming and the oral mucosa is the first human part of the body that is exposed to the toxic substances of smoking. Aims: Considering the high prevalence rate of tobacco-associated problems in the oral cavity and few studies on the Iranian population regarding the effects of smoking on the oral cavity, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between smoking and oral lesions in the Iranian population. Materials and Methods: Observational study. In this observational study, the oral cavities of 200 participants (smokers = 100 and non-smokers = 100) were examined by a trained dental student under the supervision of an oral and maxillofacial medicine expert, and the presence of coated tongue, leukoedema, leukoplakia, smoker’s palate, smoker’s melanosis, erythroplakia, frictional hyperkeratosis, acute pseudomembranous candidiasis, and erythematous candidiasis were recorded. Xerostomia was evaluated based on participants’ self-reporting through a questionnaire. All data were analyzed using T-test, Chi-square test, odd ratio, 95% confidence interval, Fisher’s exact test, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Results: The results of this study showed smoking is significantly associated with an increased risk of coated tongue (OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.32-3.54, P = 0.005), smoker’s melanosis (OR: 6.176, 95% CI: 3.28-11.62, P = 0.00002), and frictional hyperkeratosis (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 0.68-2.60, P = 0.005). However, no significant association was observed between smoking and leukoedema (OR: 1, 95% CI: 0.51-1.94, P = 1). None of the participants presented smoker’s palate, erythroplakia, and candidiasis. Conclusions: This study’s results showed that smokers exhibited a greater chance of developing oral lesions compared to non-smokers.
