Enlargements of soft tissue of the oral mucosa often present a diagnostic challenge because a diverse group of pathologic processes can produce such lesions. Lobulated capillary hemangioma of oral mucosa is a well-known benign lesion occurring most commonly on gingiva. Diagnosis of such lesions becomes difficult many times as an enlargement may represent a variation of normal anatomic structures, inflammation, cysts, developmental anomalies, and neoplasm. Some of these lesions are reactive in nature. This article focuses on a series of three similar cases on gingiva, clinically diagnosed as “pyogenic granuloma” and histopathologically as “lobulated capillary hemangioma.”
