Abstract

An intraoral mass of eight months duration in a six year-old girl was diagnosed as papillary endothe-lial hyperplasia. Histologically, the tissue was characterized by the unusual endothelial cell prolifera-tion, which is significant, as papillary endothelial hyperplasia resembles angiosarcoma and possible over-treatment thereafter. Clarification of this unusual lesion based on histological findings with sup-portive histochemical staining and immunohistochemistry in the light of clinico-pathological correla-tion is discussed. This lesion warrants better documentation of the clinical behavior with regular mon-itoring.
