Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a relatively uncommon benign tumor of the oral cavity affecting people of all ages and with no racial predilection. The etiology is still unclear but local trauma or chronic irritants may cause the development of this lesion. Hemangioma is a benign process in which there are an increased number of normal or abnormal-appearing blood vessels. In this article the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic characteristics of a patient who had a rare combination of PGCG and facial hemangioma is discussed. Surgery was the effective treatment modality for the lesion in the mandible. The characteristics of facial hemangioma and PGCG have similarities, such as the possibility of bleeding problems during surgery. As the lesion in this case was not small in size, it was not a conservative procedure. Bleeding control was established by electrocauterization. Healing was uneventful and there has been no recurrence since the surgery. A new prosthesis was fabricated for the patient. In these kinds of cases the control of bleeding must be very carefully determined and attention should be paid to the possibility of serious bleeding problems. Based on the data presented we were not able to find any correlation between the PGCG and the facial hemangioma, but new reports might have different views on the subject in the future.

Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) can present themselves in an ample clinical spectrum. They worsen over time, creating local complications such as ulceration, destruction, infection, pain, and severe bleeding. Small focal AVMs can effectively be cured by surgery and/or endovascular techniques, whereas larger ones are of difficult management.

Infantile haemangiomas are a common presentation in infants within the first few months of life. The majority of haemangiomas are benign; however, large haemangiomas (≥5 cm), especially those involving the face, may indicate a more serious underlying neurocutaneous disorder known as PHACE (Posterior fossa malformations, Haemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Coarctation of the aorta/Cardiac defects and Eye abnormalities) syndrome. The authors report an unusual case of possible PHACE syndrome in a young male toddler with a large facial haemangioma.

Background: Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare, sporadic neurocutaneous disorder affecting the skin, brain, and eyes, due to somatic activating mutations in GNAQ or, less commonly, GNA11 gene. It is characterized by at least two of the following features: a facial capillary malformation, leptomeningeal vascular malformation, and ocular involvement. The spectrum of clinical manifestations includes headache, seizures, stroke-like events, intellectual disability, glaucoma, facial asymmetry, gingival hyperplasia, etc.

Introduction: Retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) is a benign vascular hamartoma that can occur sporadically or as a manifestation of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. If left untreated, it results in adverse ocular complications depending on its location and eventual visual loss.
Case Presentation: We present a 50-year-old man who was a known case of VHL with history of left eye vision loss in the left eye at the age of 30 years.
