HEAD NECK 8



4.4 GIANT CELL (REPARATIVE) GRANULOMA
 
Usually  occurs on the gums as a red epulis or intra bony  lesion
of  maxillary  or mandibular bones because of a bleed in  to  the
marrow and is slow growing, reddish, smooth sessile tumour  which
bleeds easily.
 
Histologically  lesions show stratified squamous epithelium  with
interspersed  fibroblastic  proliferation,  multinucleated  giant
cells and heamosiderin pigments, all these constitute  diagnostic
microscopic criteria.
 
Treatment of this soft tissue lesion is by complete excision  and
curreting  
 
4.5 HEMANGIOMA
 
Capillary hemangioma are sometimes seen on the mucosa of the oral
cavity  in  infants and like hemangiomas elsewhere  they  regress
spontaneously.
 
*  Rarely  large vascular malformations will involve  the  entire
   side  of  the mouth including the tongue; gingiva  and  buccal
   mucosa.
 
Treatment  is  difficult expectant treatment in follow up they  do regress with age
