Pedunculated haemangioma of the palate

Abstract

Haemangiomas are the most common tumours of vascular origin of the head and neck region and can appear anywhere in the oral cavity. They are benign, appear in early childhood and usually involute as the child grows older. The dental surgeon should manage them appropriately if they are symptomatic. This report presents a rare case of a pedunculated haemangioma in a 4-year-old child.

Management of the oral hemangiomas in infants and children: Scoping review

“…No RCCTs were found. General information and characteristics of the included articles are described in Table 1 (4)(5)(6)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). After the analysis of the included articles, we identified three fundamental themes associated to the management of pediatric oral hemangiomas: (i) clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, and histopathological findings; (ii) evolution and complications; and (iii) current available treatment modalities.…”

“…Therefore, it is mandatory a precise diagnosis -through clinical and imaging assessment-of the type of oral vascular lesion or tumor because it may considerably influence the treatment planning (12). Regardless of the pediatric patient's age, it is imperative to institute an accurate working diagnosis for each individual oral lesion detected, in order to differentiate between developmental anomalies, reactive or inflammatory lesions, and neoplastic tumors; in this regard, intra-oral soft tissue swellings are frequently overlooked and determined as inflammatory lesions (27). On the other hand, it has been reported that children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (or Von Recklinghausen's disease) are susceptible to a variety of benign tumors, including face and oral skin HEM (30,31).…”

“…Histopathologic/microscopic features. In the present scoping review, seven articles (7,12,26,27,34,37,38) were identified in which a histopathological or microscopic evaluation was performed; all of them were clinical cases on pediatric oral HEM, particularly the capillary type. According to different authors (4,23,37), HEMs may present a spectrum of histopathological findings, consisting in general of hyperplastic endothelial cells exhibiting increased mitotic activity (13).…”

Vulvar tumor in an infant

“…Intraoral location entails an additional difficulty since it may resemble other lesions such as a pyogenic granuloma. 2,3 In most of the published cases, complete surgical resection was the reported management for pedunculated lesions, especially if symptomatic or if the esthetic outcome was likely to be favorable. 2,3 Urogenital hemangiomas have been documented at the urethral level, the cervix, and the clitoris, among other locations.…”

Capillary Hemangioma of the Hard Palate: A Rare Childhood Tumor

“…Usually hemangiomas do not affect the adjacent bone which supports the present study which does not shows any involvement of adjacent bone. Pyogenic Granuloma (PG), peripheral giant cell granuloma, epulis granulomatosa, and squamous cell carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of hemangiomas [6,7]. Management is based on age of the patient, size extend and variant of hemangiomas in the oral cavity [8].…”
