<p class="abstract">Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common vascular growth usually seen on the face and extremities following trauma, drugs like retinoids, antineoplastic agents or pregnancy. PG and port-wine stain (PWS) represent different types of vascular lesions that may rarely occur in association. PG arising in a PWS is usually reported following trauma, pregnancy or laser treatment of PWS. Any growth in a long-standing vascular lesion creates panic in the patient and a challenge to the physician, especially in the head and neck area. We report a case of recurrent PG emerging de novo in three different locations within the same PWS in a 24 year old male. A review of literature about the coexistence of both conditions is presented here, together with dermoscopic features.</p>

The peripheral ameloblastoma (PA), also known as extraosseous ameloblastoma, is a rare soft tissue tumor of odontogenic origin, accounting for 1–5% of all ameloblastoma. In some cases, saucerization of underlying bone is the only radiological evidence of this lesion, and PA has identical histological characteristics of intraosseous ameloblastoma. However, it is slow growing, less aggressive, and less invasive in nature. The present report describes a rare case of PA in the maxillary labial gingiva of a 37-year-old man with port-wine vascular malformation. PA was clinically diagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma, and following the surgical treatment of the lesion, its histological features were of ameloblastoma. This case illustrates the importance of including peripheral ameloblastoma in the differential diagnosis of painless exophytic gingival swelling.

Background: Acquired port-wine stains (PWSs) are vascular lesions that are identical to congenital PWSs morphologically and histopathologically. Objective: Because acquired PWSs are rarely seen in adult and pediatric patients, we present a 9-year-old boy with an acquired PWS on his left forearm. Conclusion: None of the proposed etiologies, such as trauma, chronic sun exposure, or hormonal medication, was applicable to our patient, and a literature review showed us that acquired PWSs give a faster and better response to pulsed dye laser therapy than congenital lesions do.

ABSTRACT Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized with vascular malformations and capillary venous angiomas involving the face, choroid of the eye and leptomeninges with port wine stain, seizures activity and mental retardation. In this paper we report a case of a patient affected by Sturge-Weber syndrome presenting with tongue hemangioma and emphasize the importance of an accurate diagnosis and management in the clinical practice.

Acquired port wine stain though an uncommon entity that develops later in life, resembles congenital port wine stain morphologically and histologically. Congenital port wine stains are vascular lesions caused by progressive ectasia of blood vessels which is located in the vascular plexus of the dermis. Congenital port-wine stains may be associated with Sturge Weber syndrome causing neurological and eye abnormalities such as glaucoma. Here we report a 60-year-old male presenting with a complaint of asymptomatic reddish patches over the nose for 15 years.

Three cutaneous vascular lesions of childhood (the spider angioma [nevus araneus], the strawberry hemangioma, and the port wine stain] are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the present and future role of laser therapy in their management.

Pyogenic granuloma is a type of inflammatory hyperplasia often seen in the oral cavity and occurs in response to stimuli such as local irritants and hormonal factors. Pyogenic granulomas associated with pregnancy are referred to as pregnancy tumors. This report describes the presentation and surgical management of a large pregnancy tumor occurring in a patient with an overlying isolated facial port-wine stain.
