Abstract

We describe a vascular tumor classified as SCH by histological criteria that was found in the mandibular-buccal fold of a 12-year-old girl. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of thin-walled cavernous spaces containing thrombi and phleboliths, and cellular areas composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid and vacuolated cells. Immunohistochemically, the endothelial vascular lining was highly reactive with HAM56 antibody, while variable reactivity was observed for factor VIII-associated antigen. All cell types were positive for vimentin and anti-PCNA stained less than 3% of the tumor cells. This is the first report of SCH in the oral cavity.
