Lobular capillary haemangiomas are benign vascular neoplasms that typically affect the skin or mucous membrane. Majority of the cases reporting lobular capillary haemangioma commonly involve the gingiva. There are rare cases presenting involvement of other parts of the oral cavity like buccal mucosa. The management of vascular lesions is more complex in children due to fear of uncontrollable bleeding. The case presented here reports a successful management of lobular capillary haemangioma of the buccal mucosa in an 11 - year - old child. Vascular lesions are one of the rare disorders affecting the overall quality of life of a child. American Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has presented numerous lesions, masses, or tumour-like conditions of hard and soft tissues within the oral and maxillofacial regions of children and young adults; most of these lesions being mucosal conditions. Oral vascular tumours encompass a wide spectrum of anomalies in children. In spite of the fact that a few cases are congenital, most of them arise during childhood.1 The vascular lesions of childhood are classified into two categories: haemangiomas (proliferating or involuting) and vascular malformations. Haemangioma is a term that envelops a heterogeneous gathering of clinical benign vascular lesions that share similar histologic features and presents as a proliferating mass of blood vessels. Haemangiomas are classified on the basis of their histological1 appearance as capillary, mixed or cavernous haemangiomas depending on the size of the vascular spaces or a sclerosing variety that tends to undergo fibrosis. Capillary haemangiomas are of two types; lobular capillary haemangioma and non-lobular capillary haemangioma depending on their histological features. Lobular capillary haemangioma (LCH) is a common reactive angiomatous proliferation of skin and mucous membranes.2,3 LCH (Mills et al. 1980 ) represents an essential, underlying lesion of pyogenic granuloma (PG).4,5 Based on the available literature and case reports, several clinical and histological differences were seen between PG and LCH, yet there is no clear distinction between the two and still remains a topic of debate. The peak prevalence of LCH is in paediatric population and young adults, with a female predilection. Although LCH is one of the most common soft tissue tumours of head and neck accounting for almost 6 % of all cases, there is a striking predilection for lesions on the gingiva. The occurrence of intraoral haemangiomas at sites such as lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate are extremely rare. LCH is a tumour-like growth of the oral cavity or skin that is considered to be non-neoplastic in nature. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of lobular capillary haemangioma in a paediatric patient and describe the successful treatment of this case.

Candida species including Candida albicans, Candida krusei and Candida glabrata are opportunistic microorganisms that inhabit oral cavity. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of dental caries on Candida spp. biofilm-forming ability on nano- composite with the hypothesis that dental caries enhances the colonization of Candida spp. To assess Candida spp. colonisation in the oral cavity of the paediatric patient, samples were obtained from 30 subjects aged five to six years old from Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. The samples were collected from buccal mucosa, palate and tooth surfaces using sterile swabs. 10 mL of patient’s saliva suspension was also collected. Following that, the samples were inoculated on CHROMagar and incubated for 24 h at 37 ºC. Candida biofilm of caries isolate C. albicans (HNFC2), and C. albicans ATCC 32354 were developed on three different types of nano-composites. The study showed that no C. albicans was isolated from the caries-free oral cavity while 76% of children with caries possessed Candida spp. 65% of the yeasts were isolated from the tooth surface. Only 35% of the total isolates were obtained from soft tissues, including palatal and buccal mucosa. C. albicans is the most isolated Candida spp. with 82% and 67% of the yeast were obtained from the tooth surface and buccal mucosa, respectively. Besides, HNFC2 significantly colonised the nano- composites more than the ATCC (P < 0.05). In the comparison of the three types of nano- composites, nano-hybrid-based containing pre-polymerised filler (cB) exhibited the least C. albicans HNFC2 cells colonisation with 7.7 x 10³ cells mL-1. In contrast, the nano-composite that contained bulk-filled nanohybrid (cC) was the most colonised with 14.3 x 10³ cells mL-1. In conclusion, dental caries enhances the colonization of Candida spp. in children's oral cavity, and that caries isolate form more biofilm on nano-composites compared to the lab strain C. albicans.

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign, localized mass of exuberant granulation tissue produced in response to various stimuli. It is inflammatory hyperplasia of oral cavity commonly seen on gingival area and rarely on other parts of oral cavity such as lips, tongue, palate and buccal mucosa. It is seen predominantly in 2nd to 3rd decade of life in young females. Clinically manifesting as small red erythematous exophytic lesion, it must be biopsied to rule out other serious conditions. This article aims to present three cases of extra gingival pyogenic granulomas occurring in rare sites such as buccal mucosa, anterior hard palate and alveolar mucosa of completely edentulous ridge in maxilla. Pyogenic granuloma on buccal mucosa and anterior hard palate were seen in female patients with age of 40 years and 34 years respectively and pyogenic granuloma on alveolar mucosa of edentulous ridge in maxilla was noted in 70 years old male patient. Surgical excision was performed for all the lesion and follow up of one year did not show any recurrence. Please add little description of patient + treatment + followup results.

Introduction: 3 Plasma cell granuloma mainly occurs in lungs but can occur in any other organ or soft tissue . It occurs very rarely in oral cavity. We have also reviewed different articles describing plasma cell granuloma in oral cavity. We search the articles in google scholar and pubmed with keywords plasma cell granuloma in oral cavity, buccal mucosa, gingiva, tongue. A Case report: 39 year old male came with a chief complaint of growth on left buccal mucosa. HPE discovered parakeratinized stratied squamous epithelium, showing focal ulceration and underlying dense connective tissue stroma. On the basis of clinicopathological ndings the diagnosis of plasma cell granuloma was made. Discussion: Plasma cell granuloma is a benign lesion but its exact aetiology, behaviour and prognosis is not completely known. We can give emphasis on frozen histopathology intraoperatively to avoid unnecessarily extensive and potentially destructive surgery as the treatment plan.

Intraoral herniation of the buccal fat pad is traumatic lesion of oral cavity occurring in young children. It frequently presents as an expanding pedunculated mass of soft tissue emanating from the buccal mucosa following a minor trauma to the buccal soft tissues. This article aims to report an interesting and rare lesion, wherein a tiny traumatic perforation of the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle forced a large portion of the buccal fat pad to extrude into the oral cavity in a young boy. Such a situation can alarm any clinician and reinforces the importance of careful history taking and thorough examination, before treating patients.

<p class="abstract">Lobular capillary haemangioma also known as granuloma pyogenicum or pyogenic granuloma, refers to a common, acquired, benign, vascular tumor that arises in tissues such as the skin and mucous membranes. The occasional eruption of a lobular capillary haemangioma from vascular lesions like haemangiomas or existing port-wine stains suggests abnormalities in blood flow.</p>

Hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas of oral cavity are well-known benign lesions. Pyogenic granuloma is known to show a striking predilection for the gingiva and capillary haemangioma frequently occurs in the lips, cheek, and tongue. The present case report is an atypical presentation of capillary haemangioma on gingiva which is considered to be extremely rare. The clinical presentation of the lesion in our case mimicked a pyogenic granuloma however, histopathologically was diagnosed as capillary haemangioma. These lesions present as a diagnostic dilemma to the clinician and can lead to serious complications if not carefully managed.

Spinal vascular malformations are rare vascular lesions that most frequently present with back pain, radiculopathy, and/or myelopathy. Neurological decline is typically secondary to progressive radiculopathy, myelopathy, venous thrombosis, and stroke. Few case reports have described thoracolumbar spinal vascular malformations that present with both subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage. This is the first reported case of a thoracolumbar spinal vascular malformation presenting with isolated intraventricular hemorrhage on initial imaging followed by acute and fatal rehemorrhage.

Vascular anomalies in children and adolescents are the most common soft tissue lesions and include reactive, malformative, and neoplastic tumefactions, with a full spectrum of benign, intermediate, and malignant neoplasms. These lesions are diagnostically challenging because of morphologic complexity and recent changes in classification systems, some of which are based on clinical features and others on pathologic findings. In recent decades, there have been significant advances in clinical diagnosis, development of new therapies, and a better understanding of the genetic aspects of vascular biology and syndromes that include unusual vascular proliferations. Most vascular lesions in children and adolescents are benign, although the intermediate locally aggressive and intermediate rarely metastasizing neoplasms are important to distinguish from benign and malignant mimics. Morphologic recognition of a vasoproliferative lesion is straightforward in most instances, and conventional morphology remains the cornerstone for a specific diagnosis. However, pathologic examination is enhanced by adjunctive techniques, especially immunohistochemistry to characterize the type of vessels involved. Multifocality may cause some uncertainty regarding the assignment of “benign” or “malignant.” However, increased interest in vascular anomalies, clinical expertise, and imaging technology have contributed greatly to our understanding of these disorders to the extent that in most vascular malformations and in many tumors, a diagnosis is made clinically and biopsy is not required for diagnosis. The importance of close collaboration between the clinical team and the pathologist cannot be overemphasized. For some lesions, a diagnosis is not possible from evaluation of histopathology alone, and in a subset of these, a specific diagnosis may not be possible even after all assembled data have been reviewed. In such instances, a consensus diagnosis in conjunction with clinical colleagues guides therapy. The purpose of this review is to delineate the clinicopathologic features of vascular lesions in children and adolescents with an emphasis on their unique aspects, use of diagnostic adjuncts, and differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Pyogenic granuloma (PG) or granuloma pyogenicum is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity or skin is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia. It is non-neoplastic in nature and represents an exuberant tissue response to local irritation or trauma. In oral cavity, PG shows striking predilection for gingiva with interdental papilla being most common site in 70% of cases. Other studies reveal 87.09% of PG occur on gingiva, 9.67% occur on lip site and 3.22% occur with buccal mucosa. Here is a report of unusual case of extragingival PG occurring on the buccal mucosa.
