“…Although an angiographic examination was not performed, the case reported herein showed characteristics similar to those described by Howell, Freeman, and Jaspers [ 5 , 9 ]: unilaterality, a location near the mucosal surface, and the presence of a nonulcerated node in the labial mucosa. Miko et al [ 6 ] stated, “We have never found calibre persistent arteries under intact vermilion border, but always associated with chronic lip ulcers.”…”

“…In that report, the clinical aspects included a pulsatile tubular lesion on palpation, and an ulcer was observed in the mucosa upon visual inspection, in contrast to the results of other studies that found no association with ulcers [ 5 , 10 , 12 ].…”

“…This type of abnormal artery was first described in the oral cavity in 1973 by Howell and Freeman, who designated it as “prominent inferior labial artery” [ 5 ], and this study was followed by a series of other studies that used the term “caliber-persistent artery” [ 1 , 2 , 6 – 15 ].…”

Caliber-persistent artery (CPLA) of the lip is a common vascular anomaly in which a main arterial branch extends to the surface of the mucous tissue with no reduction in its diameter. It usually manifests as pulsatile papule, is easily misdiagnosed, and is observed more frequently among older people, suggesting that its development may involve a degenerative process associated with aging; CPLA is also characterized by the loss of tone of the adjacent supporting connective tissue. Although the diagnosis is clinical, high-resolution Doppler ultrasound is a useful noninvasive tool for evaluating the lesion. This report describes the case of a 58-year-old male patient who complained of a lesion of the lower lip with bleeding and recurrent ulceration. The patient was successfully treated in our hospital after a diagnosis of CPLA and is currently undergoing a clinical outpatient follow-up with no complaints.

Early diagnosis of a calibre persistent labial artery in a child: Usefulness of ultrasonography

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Calibre persistent labial artery is a vascular lesion in which a large diameter artery penetrates the submucosal tissue of the lip and continues without division or decreasing its size. Usually, a calibre persistent artery of the lip presents as a pulsatile papule and is easily misdiagnosed. Although the diagnosis can be clinical, the development of high-resolution colour Doppler ultrasound is a useful non-invasive tool for evaluating the lesion. We report a case of a 2-year-old male patient presenting with a congenital pulsatile lesion on his upper lip. Clinical diagnosis of a calibre persistent artery of the lip was confirmed by colour Doppler ultrasound. Images are provided to highlight findings of the physical and ultrasound examinations.
