Prerna Sharma et al. J Pharm Bioallied Sci. 2025 May.

Abstract

Background: Benign vascular lesions called hemangiomas are frequently found in the head and neck area.

Objective: To calculate the oral cavity hemangioma prevalence in the people of Udaipur.

Materials and methods: Every individual who reported to the Outpatient Department (OPD) underwent screening for a year in the cross-sectional study. The diagnostic criteria for identifying Arterioveous (AV) or Oral hemangiomas (OH) anomalies were used to assess clinical findings. The history, clinical examination, diascopy test, and panoramic radiographs were used to make the diagnosis of OH.

Results: Among the population screened, the prevalence of oral cavity hemangiomas has been reported to be 2.6%. At an average age of 54.62 years, the number of males and females was recorded to be 12 (66.6%) and 6 (33.3%), respectively.

Conclusion: More research ought to be done in the future to ascertain its clinical correlation with age, gender, and the location of incidence due to least number of studies available.

Keywords: AV malformations; hemangioma; oral hemangioma.
