“…Hemangioma treatment is dependent on several factors, including the patient's age and the size and clinical features of the lesion. As observed in the present case, lesions that are smaller in size can be successfully removed (3). Other treatment strategies for benign vascular lesions include corticosteroids, interferon-alpha, embolization, laser therapy, cryosurgery, and radiotherapy (5,6,9).…”

“…Capillary hemangioma may be immobile or pedunculated. It is a soft, smooth, or irregular tumor, which is round and swollen in the outlines; it is also painfree if not exacerbated (3). The syndromes associated with hemangioma include Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, and blue rubber bleb syndrome (1,7).…”

Background Vascular anomalies include a wide range of tumors and malformations (1). Among vascular anomalies, hemangioma is most frequently detected in the head and neck regions (1-3). Hemangioma often refers to congenital hamartomas and vascular disorders. Overall, it is considered as a developmental disorder, which is often identified in the early stages (3). Hemangioma is regarded as the most common type of tumor among children so that it is reported in nearly 5%-10% of children below one year. It is characterized by fast development, proliferation of endothelial cells, and progressive involution (4). In most cases of hemangioma, the head and neck regions are affected, whereas the oral cavity is an uncommon site of occurrence. They may occur at any site or at any age without any variations among different races or genders (3). Hemangioma in the oral region mostly affects the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa, while the hard and soft palates normally remain unaffected (2, 3). Clinically, hemangioma appears as a soft, smooth or lobulated mass. It is a sessile or pedunculated lesion, which can lead to the formation of ulcers, pain, bleeding, secondary infections, and tissue abnormalities (2, 5). Lesions vary in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters (4). Histopathologically, hemangioma shows flatted endothelial cells and small capillary size space (4). In this report, we will describe an unusual case of capillary hemangioma of the tongue.

Oral mucosal lesions in a Chilean elderly population: A retrospective study with a systematic review from thirteen countries

BackgroundThe oral examination is an essential part of the multidisciplinary medical care in elderly people. Oral mucosal lesions and normal variations of oral anatomy (OMLs) are very common in this people, but few studies have examined the frequency and prevalence of these conditions worldwide and less in Chile. The aim of this research was to evaluate the frequency of OMLs in a Chilean elderly population.Material and MethodsIt was conducted a retrospective study (Talca, Chile). Two hundred seventy-seven OMLs were classified in groups and anatomical sites. In order to contextualize our numbers, we made a systematic review using Publish or Perish software, Google Scholar and InteractiVenn.ResultsThe most prevalent OMLs groups were soft tissue tumors, epithelial pathology, facial pain and neuromuscular diseases, and dermatologic diseases. The most frequent OMLs included irritation fibroma (30 patients, 10.8%), hemangioma (20, 7.2%), burning mouth syndrome (20 cases, 7.2%), oral lichen planus (12, 4.3%) and epulis fissuratum (12, 4.3%). In the systematic review, 75 OMLs were relevant and the more studied pathologies were traumatic ulcerations (11 of 15 articles), oral lichen planus (10/15), irritation fibroma, melanotic pigmentations, and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (9/10, respectively). Considering all included articles, most frequent OMLs in elderly people included denture-related stomatitis (13.3%), irritation fibroma (8.7%) and fissured tongue (6.3%).ConclusionsThe results reflect the frequency of OMLs diagnosed in a specialized service in south of Chile and many countries around the world. These numbers will allow the establishment of preventive politics and adequacy of the clinical services. Key words:Oral mucosal lesions, elderly people, Chilean population, frequency, systematic review.
