Rare cavernous haemangioma of the oral cavity with numerous phleboliths

Hemangiomas are tumors of blood vessels identified by rapid endothelial cell proliferation in early infancy followed byinvolution over time. All other abnormalities are malformations resulting from anomalous development of vascularplexuses. This lesion in the oral cavity is not common. Despite its benign origin and behaviour, it is always of clinicalimportance to the dental profession and requires appropriate management. This paper reports a rare case of cavernoushemangiomaof base of tongue, buccal mucosa and floor of mouth with extensive phleboliths in a 64-year-old male.
