Abstract
ABSTRACT
Capillary Haemangioma is a benign vascular tumour characterized by proliferation
of blood vessels with a very striking similarity to pyogenic granuloma with a
predilection to occur on the gingiva. Though the head and neck are the most
common region of occurrence, but is considered to be rare occurring on the
gingiva, intra-orally. The lesion clinically mimicked pyogenic granuloma but was
histopathologically diagnosed as capillary haemangioma. It was surgically excised
and followed up for 6 months without any recurrence.
