Objectives: To compare the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Doppler ultrasound (DUS) findings with the pathological findings of soft tissue vascular tumors (STVTs) according to the 2018 ISSVA (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies) classification to differentiate vascular tumors from vascular malformations.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with STVTs who underwent contrast-enhanced MRI and pathological analysis at our hospital between 2010 and 2020. The presumptive diagnosis based on the on-site imaging and histological analysis was compared with imaging and histological analysis conducted off-site utilizing the ISSVA criteria.

Article Synopsis
  • Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign growth commonly found in the oral cavity, particularly on the lips, palate, and gums, and is often mistaken for an infection despite being a type of vessel growth.
  • Though PG can recur, it is not cancerous and may cause discomfort depending on its location; accurate diagnosis is critical as it can resemble other conditions like hemangioma and melanoma.
  • Treatment options include excision methods like scalpel, laser, and electrocautery; for a 45-year-old female, electrocautery was used, and PG was confirmed through clinical and histopathological analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common growth in the mouth that can develop due to irritation, trauma, infection, or hormonal factors, mostly seen in young women but can affect anyone, including infants.
  • Treatment for PG usually involves surgical excision, but laser therapy is becoming a favored option due to its precision and less discomfort for patients.
  • This report highlights a case of an 11-month-old infant with a PG lesion in the palate, treated successfully with laser excision without any complications.

Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) is a common reactive tumour-like lesion of the oral cavity arising in response to various stimuli such as chronic local irritation, drug intake, and hormonal changes. The clinical features are similar to other reactive oral lesions such as peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) and therefore the definitive diagnosis depends on histopathologic evaluation. We report a case of a three-year-old Indian boy presenting with a three-month history of a 3.

Article Synopsis
  • Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a reactive tissue disorder commonly found in the gums, particularly in females, characterized by a tumor-like mass that may bleed or ulcerate.
  • It can appear in various areas of the mouth and has two types: lobular capillary hemangioma variant and non-LCH variant.
  • Successful management often requires surgical excision and removal of local irritants to prevent recurrence, as shown in a case where a 28-year-old female had her recurrent swelling completely excised with no follow-up issues after nine months.
