Pyogenic granulomas and hemangiomas of oral cavity are well-known benign soft tissue lesions. Though pyogenic granuloma is known to occur most commonly on the gingiva and capillary hemangioma on lips, cheek and tongue, occurrence of these lesions on buccal mucosa is rare. It makes clinical diagnosis quite challenging because of such an uncommon location, as they sometimes may mimic more serious lesions such as malignancies. An excisional biopsy was performed under local anaesthesia and excised growth was sent for histopathological examination. This case report presents a case of soft tissue exophytic mass present on the buccal mucosa which was initially thought to be a pyogenic granuloma clinically and turned out to be capillary hemangioma on histopathological examination. In spite of their benign nature, intraoral capillary hemangiomas are always clinically important to be diagnosed well in time and should be managed accordingly.

“…Capillary hemangiomas are composed of many small capillaries lined with a single layer of endothelial cells supported in connective tissue stroma of varying density. [ 4 ] Both pyogenic granuloma and capillary hemangioma rarely occur on the palatal mucosa, occur in younger age group and histopathologically resemble each other.…”

Pyogenic granuloma is a tumor-like proliferation to a non-specific infection. The tumor-like growth is considered to be non-neoplastic in nature and presents in various clinical and histological forms in the oral cavity. Hemangiomas are benign vascular anomalies characterized by benign proliferation of blood vessels. The aim of this article is to drive attention toward the uncommon location of capillary hemangioma on the palate. In spite of their benign nature, intraoral capillary hemangiomas are always clinically important to be diagnosed well in time and suitably managed. The lesion in the present case although clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma gave a histological picture of capillary hemangioma when surgically excised.

“…Hemangioma is microscopically classified into capillary and cavernous type. Capillary hemangioma consists of many small vessels, with a lining of a single layer of endothelial cells (2). Hemangioma is usually present at birth; however, it may also grow rapidly and involute during childhood (3).…”

Hemangioma is a benign vascular lesion, which is common in the head and neck but rare in the oral cavity. Oral hemangioma presents as a smooth, soft, painless mass, which may be sessile or pedunculated in any size. However, most of the lesions will diminish spontaneously. Several therapeutic approaches are used for hemangiomas, such as cautery, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and sclerosing agents. Herein, we reported the case of a 36-year-old female who had a swelling on the top of her upper lip since birth. We proposed laser therapy as an efficient treatment plan because of its benefits, such as the achievement of coagulation, comfort for both practitioner and patient, and esthetic advantages. Moreover, this approach eliminates the chance of recurrence if performed perfectly.
