Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumours of the head and neck. Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a common, acquired proliferative reaction in vascular tissue. It has female predilection, and peak incidence occurs in adolescents and young adults. Histopathologically, it is characterised by nodular proliferation of capillary-sized vessels lined by endothelial cells with plump nuclei. The capillary lumen shows the presence of numerous erythrocytes. To distinguish this lesion from other vascular lesions, a precise diagnosis is required. The majority of oral hemangiomas will regress without any treatment. If these tumours continue into adulthood, it may lead to difficulty in speech and swallowing. This case report presents an atypical manifestation of LCH of the buccal mucosa in a 51-year-old male patient.
血管瘤是头颈部的良性血管肿瘤。小叶性毛细血管瘤（LCH）是血管组织中一种常见的后天性增殖反应。它好发于女性，发病高峰在青少年和青年成年人。组织病理学上，其特征为内皮细胞衬里的毛细血管大小血管呈结节状增生，细胞核饱满。毛细血管腔内可见大量红细胞。为将此病变与其他血管病变区分开来，需要进行精确诊断。大多数口腔血管瘤不经任何治疗即可消退。如果这些肿瘤持续到成年期，可能会导致言语和吞咽困难。本病例报告展示了一名51岁男性患者颊黏膜LCH的非典型表现。
