Abstract

Hemangiomas of the head and neck are benign tumours that have their origin from the blood vessels. Hemangiomas are classified as capillary, cavernous , sclerosing and central type. The nature of this tumour is progressively slow growing, including involvement of greater portions of the superficial and deep blood vessels, functions maybe affected, depending on the location. Hemangiomas are common in the head and neck and have rare occurrence in the oral cavity. Lips, buccal mucosa and tongue are the common sites, hemangiomas occur rarely on the palate. This is a case of unusual location of capillary hemangioma on the palate in a middle aged man diagnosed by histopathology after surgical excision.
