title: Rare occurrence of lobular capillary hemangioma on the palate: possible mechanism and treatment considerations.
abstract: Lack of striking clinical presentation makes the diagnosis of vascular lesions a difficult task. There lies a great probability that a case of capillary hemangioma at a rare location like the palate in a pregnant female might be misdiagnosed. Definitive diagnosis can only be made after thorough clinical and histopathological examination. Additional care needs to be exercised in a pregnant female while treating any tumor-like growth, including maintenance of diet and oral hygiene. We present one such case of capillary hemangioma of the palate in a pregnant female, along with treatment considerations.
