Fibroma is a benign tumor of oral cavity, with usually the tongue, gingiva, and buccal mucosa being the most common sites. Females are twice more likely to develop fibroma than males. The intraoral fibroma typically is well demarcated; and its size can vary from millimeter to few centimeters. Intraorally the growth is attached to the mucosa by means of a peduncle. Fibroma is generally slow growing, painless, smooth surface lesion and the color is slightly paler than the adjacent healthy tissue. Treatment usually requires total excision and recurrence is rare. Here we present a case of 37-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology with the chief complaint of a growth in the lower left posterior teeth region 3 months earlier.

Hemangiopericytoma, initially described by Stout and Murray in 1942 (1), is a rare vascular tumor arising from mesenchymal cells with pericytic differentiation. Hemangiopericytomas usually occur in the 5th decade of life and account for 3-5% of all soft tissue sarcomas and 1% of all vascular tumors (2). The tumor usually occurs in the limbs, pelvis, or head and neck region; 15-30% of all hemangiopericytomas occur in the head and neck (2,3). Here we present a case of hemangiopericytoma of the submandibular region with keratocystic odontogenic tumors in an adolescent patient.
