Lobular Capillary Hemangioma Mimicking Recurrent Mucocele: A Diagnostic Challenge

Abstract Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a benign vascular proliferation that can mimic other oral lesions, often leading to diagnostic challenges. This case report describes a 28-year-old female with recurrent swelling in the lower left anterior lip region, initially diagnosed as a mucocele. Clinical evaluation, histopathological examination, and diode laser excision led to the definitive diagnosis of LCH. The case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis and evolving treatment modalities in oral soft-tissue lesions.
