Oral encapsulated vascular malformation: An undescribed presentation in the mouth

Abstract: Vascular lesions have been classified in two broad categories, hemangiomas and malformations. Encapsulated vascular lesions have not been reported in the oral cavity, but they were described in other sites, mainly in the orbit. Herein, we present a case of an oral encapsulated vascular lesion located in the right buccal mucosa of a 69-year-old male, including histological and immunohistochemical description and a literature review. Key words:Buccal mucosa, hemangioma, vascular malformation, oral cavity.

“…Vascular malformations are defined as congenital lesions that develop later in life. They are formed by dysplastic vascular channels secondary to hemodynamic mechanisms 25. They are rare in the head and neck region; however, 5% of them are located in the mandible and 50% are intraosseous lesions 3.…”

“…Vascular malformations frequently occur in the lip, tongue, and maxillofacial and oral regions [5] [6] [7]. Although several studies have reported vascular malformations occurring in the masseter muscle and buccal pad in the buccal or Open Journal of Stomatology midfacial region [22] [10], no previous report has documented a case of multiple organized thromboses. Despite not being able to confirm the final diagnosis, the current case seemed consistent with multiple vascular malformations in the midfacial region because of the following reasons: MRI and clinical findings that showed multiple dark-violet lesions like vascular malformations in the oral mucosa, clinical progress of this symptom from five years earlier, operative findings, and histopathological findings of the tuberous tumours [27].…”
