ABSTRACT

Angiomatous granuloma is a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to local irritants, chronic irritation and hormonal changes. Clinically, it presents as a smooth, lobulated, sessile or pedunculated exophytic mass, exhibiting pink to reddish-purple color which can bleed on slight manipulation. It has no malignant potential, but recurrence is common after surgical excision. These Lesions show a female predilection, frequently involving the gingiva. Histologically, they depict excessive proliferation of vascular type of connective tissue. The most common treatment modality is surgical excision with eradication of local irritants. This case report describes a Angiomatous granuloma in an uncommon location on the upper labial mucosa in a 39-year-old male. The lesion was excised successfully with a 810 nm diodelaser as a conservative and non-stressful procedure that resulted in a bloodless surgical field with no post surgical complications with minimal pain and rapid healing.
