Cavernous Hemangioma of Buccal Mucosa: A Rare Case Report with a Reappraisal of Differential Diagnosis & Review of Literature

Hemangiomas are common tumors which are qualified as benign lesions as there is proliferation of dilated blood vessels. These are present at birth & gradually increased in size & by puberty involutes but few lesions persist. These lesions are clinically & histopathologically differentiated from other soft tissue lesions as the treatment modes are different for hemangiomas & other soft tissue lesions. For the dentist these have considerable importance as sometimes if there are intraosseous & if extraction is attempted can lead to severe bleeding. So knowledge of these is important for appropriate clinical management.
