Cellular hemangioma in an adult.
This report describes an adult case of cellular hemangioma arising in the lower lip. A 39-year-old healthy woman presented with a polypoid mass of 4 months duration. The tumor imparted little color to the overlying mucosa and was misdiagnosed as a mucous granuloma preoperatively. The lobular proliferation of plump endothelial cells with inconspicuous vascular spaces was a cardinal morphologic feature of the present tumor.
