Lobular Capillary Haemangioma of the Upper Lip: Case Report of a Rare Presentation

Aim and backgroundA benign proliferation of the blood vessels exhibiting swift growth is referred to as Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (LCH) and are routinely observed in the mucous membranes and skin.The most frequent presentation in the oral cavity is in the gingiva, while extra-gingival cases are less common.It typically happens in response to local irritation from things like calculus, broken teeth, small wounds, coarse dental restorations, and foreign objects. Case descriptionThe present case is about an LCH that was distinctly located outside the gingiva, presenting as a swelling on the upper lip, in a 43 years old male patient, for 10 days.The lesion was excised and the diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathological examination.A follow-up examination was carried out at 10 days and six months postsurgery. ConclusionDental surgeons and practitioners should be knowledgeable about the wide range of clinical presentations of vascular pathologies in order to promptly manage them and take the necessary precautions to reduce any risks that may arise.
