BENIGN TUMOURS

 A hemangioma is a benign and usually self-
involuting tumor (swelling or growth) of the
endothelial cells.
HEMANGIOMA

 Occur in infants and children; for central
hemangiomas of jaws: peak age is second decade
 M:F = 1:3 TO 1:5
 Whites are more commonly affected than the dark-
skinned individuals
 MOST COMMON LOCATION IS THE HEAD AND NECK:
ACCOUNTING FOR 60% OF ALL CASES
HEMANGIOMA
Clinical features

 Superficial tumours: appear raised and bosselated
with a bright red colour; firm and rubbery on
palpation
 Deep tumours: slightly raised with a bluish hue
HEMANGIOMA
Clinical presentation

 Fully developed hemangiomas are rare at birth
 It presents as a pale macule with thread like
telangiectasias on the skin
 Proliferative phase
 This phase lasts for a few weeks where rapid pace of
growth is observed
 6-10 months after the proliferative phase the tumour
begins to involute
 Colour changes to deep- purple hue; by the age of 5
yrs most of the red colour is gone
 Lesion feels less firm in palpation
HEMANGIOMA
Course of hemangioma…

 50% of the tumours show complete resolution by 5
yrs; 90% resolve by 9 yrs
 AFTER TUMOUR REGRESSION
 Normal skin might be restored
 Or permanent changes might be skin which include
 Atrophy
 Scarring
 Wrinkling
 Telangiectasias
 Complications might also occur which include
ulceration and hemorrhage
HEMANGIOMA
Course of hemangioma…

 Rendu- Osler- Weber syndrome
 Sturge- Weber syndrome
 Maffuci syndrome
 von Hippel Lindau syndrome
HEMANGIOMA
Syndromes associated…

 Deep red/ bluish red in colour
 Readily compressible and fills slowly when released
 Common sites: lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and
palate
 Usually traumatised, undergoes ulceration and
secondary infection
 INTRAMUSCULAR AND CENTRAL
HEMANGIOMAS are also reported in the oral cavity
HEMANGIOMA
Oral manifestations…

 Central hemangioma:
 Occur in maxilla and mandible; 2/3rds in mandible
 First 2 decades of life
 bone destructive lesion: honey comb appearance in
radiograph
 Root resorption is seen in some cases; vitality is not
affected
HEMANGIOMA
Oral manifestations…

 Angiography
 Ultrasonography
 Contrast enhanced MRI: can differentiate between
hemangioma and lymphangioma
 MRI
HEMANGIOMA
Radiographic imaging

 Three common types
 Cellular hemangioma
 Capillary hemangioma
 Cavernous hemangioma
 Cellular hemangioma
 Extensive endothelial proliferation
 Numerous plump endothelial cells
 Indistinct vascular lumina
 It may develop into a simple hemangioma or involute
HEMANGIOMA
Histopathology

 Capillary hemangioma
 Many small capillaries lined by a single layer of
endothelial cells
 Connective tissue stroma is present
 Compared to cellular hemangioma the endothelial
cells are flat vascular spaces become evident
 During involution, vascular spaces become less
prominent and are replaced by fibrous connective
tissue
HEMANGIOMA
Histopathology

 Cavernous hemangioma
 Large dilated blood sinuses with thin walls showing
endothelial cells
 Sinusoidal spaces are usually filled with blood
 Sometimes lymph vessels may be present
HEMANGIOMA
Histopathology

 Many congenital hemangiomas undergo
spontaneous regression
 Case that do not show regression or those that arise
in older persons have to be treated
 Surgery
 Radiation therapy
 Sclerosing agents injected into the lesion
 Carbon dioxide snow
 Cryotherapy
 Compression
 Recurrence and malignant transformation are rare
HEMANGIOMA
Treatment


BENIGN TUMOURS

 Benign hamartomatous hyperplasia of lymphatic
vessels
 Developmental malformations that arise from
sequestrations of lymphatic tissue that do not
communicate normally with rest of the lymphatic
system
 CLASSIFICATION
 Lymphangioma simplex
 Cavernous lymphangioma
 Cystic lymphangioma
LYMPHANGIOMA

 50% of the lesions are noted at birth and around 90%
develop by 9yrs of age
 M = F
 50-70% of lesions occur in head and neck; most
common location being the lateral neck
LYMPHANGIOMA
Clinical features

 Most common location is the anterior two-thirds of
the tongue
 Other locations: palate, buccal mucosa, gingiva and
lips
 Usually superficial in location
 Demonstrates pebbly surface which resembles a
cluster of translucent vesicles
 The clinical appearance is simulated to tapioca
pudding or frog eggs
 Secondary haemorrhage may cause the vesicles to
appear purple
 Deep tumours present as soft ill-defined masses
LYMPHANGIOMA
Oral manifestations

 Small lymphangiomas less than 1cm occur on the
alveolar ridge: common in black neonates
 These lesions occur bilaterally on the mandibular
ridge
 M:F = 2:1
 They resolve spontaneously
 Central lymphangiomas are also reported : not
common in the oral cavity
LYMPHANGIOMA
Oral manifestations

 Lymphangiomas consist of multiple intertwining
lymph vessels in a loose fibrovascular stroma
 UNENCAPSULATED
 The lining endothelium is typically thin; contains
single layer of endothelial cells with flattened nuclei
 They usually contain lymph
 Some channels may contain RBCs: likely represent
secondary hemorrhage
 SOME MAY BE ACTUAL EXAMPLES OF
HEMANGIO-LYMPHANGIOMA
LYMPHANGIOMA
Histopathology

 In INTRAORAL TUMOURS
 Lymphatic vessels are characteristically located
beneath the epithelial surface
 They replace the connective tissue papillae: little or no
connective tissue is present between the lymph vessels
and the epithelium
 This superficial location results in the appearance of
translucent vesicle- like appearance
 Extension into deeper tissues might also be seen
LYMPHANGIOMA
Histopathology

 Lymphangioma simplex: small, thin walled
lymphatics are seen
 Cavernous lymphangioma: dilated lymphatic vessels
with surrounding adventitia
 Cystic lymphangioma: huge, macroscopic lymphatic
spaces with surrounding fibrovascular tissues
LYMPHANGIOMA
Histopathology

 THE SIZE OF THE VESSELS MAY DEPEND ON
THE NATURE OF THE SURROUNDING
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
 CAVERNOUS LYMPHANGIOMA: more frequent in
the mouth, here denser surrounding connective
tissue and skeletal muscle limit vessel expansion
 CYSTIC LYMPHANGIOMAS: neck and axilla, here
loose adjacent connective tissue allows for
expansion of the vessels
LYMPHANGIOMA
Histopathology

 Spontaneous regression is rare
 Radioresistant and insensitive to sclerosing agents
 Surgical excision is the treatment of choice
 Recurrence is common, especially for cavernous
lymphangiomas of the oral cavity: because of their
infiltrative nature
 Surgical debulking of the tumour is the typical
treatment provided and additional debulking
procedures might be required as the child grows
