ABSTRACT

Lobular capillary hemangiomas of the oral cavity are a common benign lesion. It has more predilections for the lips. The clinical diagnosis of these lesions is sometimes challenging as they mimic more dangerous lesions like malignancies. Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is usually a result of exuberant neovascular reaction to infection, hormonal influence (e.g., pregnancy and consumption of oral contraceptive pills) or local irritation (e.g., trauma). In this article reported a case report of lobular capillary hemangioma of lower lip which was clinically difficult to diagnose.
