Abstract

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.
