[Difficult diagnosis of a hypervascularized tumor: "angiomatous epulis"].
Based on a case presented by the patient himself, the authors describe the difficult management of a very large, recurrent epulis arising in a context of flat angioma of one half of the face according to a vascular mode. After a brief review of the clinical and aetiopathogenic aspects, the authors discuss the value of complete surgical treatment and raise the question of the possible relation, in this particular case, between angioma and this recurrent so-called angiomatous epulis.
