Lip lesions are a common presentation to the pediatrician's office. These lesions are often benign in children, without significant functional morbidity. However, owing to the prominent placement of lips and their role in communication, lip lesions can be alarming to patients as well as to their parents. For these reasons the pediatrician has an important role in recognizing, diagnosing, and treating the various types of labial dermatoses that commonly present to a pediatric practice. Four of the most common lip lesions a pediatrician will see are herpes simplex/recurrent herpes labialis, impetigo, mucoceles, and hemangiomas...

Clinical and histopathological features were investigated in 43 cases of oral lobular capillary hemangiomas (LCH) with a special reference to characteristics of the vascular elements. The lesions affected females more than males by a ratio of 1:1.5. Average age of the patients was 52.7 years. The lesions involved the gingiva (n = 15), the tongue (n = 13), the labial mucosa (n = 10) and other sites. The lesions appeared usually as a pedunculated mass with ulceration; size of the lesions was up to 15 mm. Histologically, a lobular area and an ulcerative area were distinguished...

After defining vascular malformations and tumors, the authors approach specific problems of these lesions involving the lips. Careful planning and assessment are necessary throughout the clinical course and evolution. Therapeutic management concern the vascular anomaly but the functional, cosmetic and psychological repercussions as well. The rules of surgical treatment are discussed in this labial location. Capillary malformations can be treated by pulsed dye laser for the skin involvement, but sometimes by reconstructive surgery in case of soft tissue and bony overgrowth...

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to clarify the Doppler sonographic features of the facial artery in the anterior face in healthy volunteers and to investigate those of related hemangiomas. STUDY DESIGN: Forty-six volunteers and 3 patients with hemangiomas were examined with Doppler sonography. The detection rates of the facial artery in the anterior face were determined. The features of the main trunk, superior and inferior labial branches, and the branches in the buccinator area were investigated together with the flow diameter, flow velocities, and resistive and pulsatility indexes...

Although conservative management is usually proposed for haemangiomas occurring in infancy, the presence of these tumours on the face may result in severe complications and provide an indication for treatment. In this paper, we report 35 patients who underwent surgical treatment for facial haemangiomas. The series consists of 23 females and 12 males, ranging in age from 2.5 months to 35 years. In six patients early surgery, before the age of 2 years, was performed because of severe complications, including visual occlusion, repeated bleeding and distortion of adjacent structures...

OBJECTIVE: Superficial arteriovenous hemangioma (AH) is a benign vascular lesion that often affects the head and neck, but only 3 histologically proven intraoral lesions have been previously reported. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and histologic features of 36 oral AHs from 35 patients. STUDY DESIGN: All vascular lesions, other than pyogenic granulomas, accessioned between 1952 and 2000 were retrieved, and clinical details were gleaned from the request forms or, when available, from the case notes...

We evaluated 130 prepubertal girls presenting with a vulvar complaint to determine the spectrum and frequency of conditions seen in this age group. Of the patients, 41 (33%) had atopic or irritant dermatitis, 23 (18%) had lichen sclerosus, 21 (17%) had psoriasis, 15 (12%) had vulvar lesions, most often hemangiomas and nevi, and 13 (10%) had streptococcal vulvovaginitis. Diagnoses less frequently seen were staphylococcal folliculitis (four patients), labial fusion (three patients), genital warts (two patients), molluscum contagiosum of the vulva only (one patient), vulvar bullous pemphigoid (two patients), scabies nodules (one patient), erythema annulare centrifugum (one patient), tinea (two patients), and vitiligo (one patient)...

Sixteen cases of caliber-persistent labial artery of the lips have been reported to date in the English literature. Six of these were clinically misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and treated with wedge resection. To date, we have seen 187 cases clinically and an additional 23 cases through our surgical oral pathology services. Careful clinical observation usually reveals a soft linear or papular bluish elevation above the labial mucosal surface. The unique feature is pulsation--not simply pulsation toward and away from the observer, which can be caused by an underlying artery, but lateral pulsation, which only an artery can exhibit...

The sliding door flap raised on the surface of the vermilion to the oral mucosa has been used for reconstruction of soft-tissue defects of the lower lip. The blood supply to this flap comes from the bilateral inferior labial artery. Utilizing both sides of the arteries, bilateral flaps allow for safe and easy transfer of the vermilion tissue to partial defects of the red lip. These flaps have been used in cases of lower lip defects with complete survival. The sliding door flap has increased mobility by at least 1 cm more than by the other style of flap reported by Goldstein...

After examining the most recent literature on this subject, the authors assess the state of the art of current knowledge regarding cutaneous angioma in the light of their personal experience. The histological, biological and clinical characteristics are analysed and enable a new nosographic evaluation of this frequent pathology which must be differentiated from vascular malformations. In the light of these unique features, the authors examine the current forms of treatment for angioma using local, systemic or physical therapy...

We report a female infant noted prenatally to have an umbilical cord mass. At birth, a labial strawberry haemangioma was noted. She subsequently developed an abdominal mass which was discovered to be a proliferating haemangioma, continuous with both the labial and the umbilical stump lesions.

The physical principles underlying the production of the laser effect are described, followed by a more detailed description of the surgical CO2 FLF 25 laser that has been employed for the last 18 months, underlining its original features but also the dangers resulting from the use of these rays. Indications can bae divided into two main groups: --tumours capable of being treated by section or vaporization, --affections of the labial, lingual, jugular, and pharyngeal mucosae in which very effective results have been obtained...

An approach to lip reconstruction is described utilizing a myocutaneous vermilion flap based on the inferior labial artery. The inherent elasticity of the lip is used to great advantage by stretching the freed vermilion flap to bridge a loss of about one-half the lower lip. This vermilion flap may be worthy of consideration when reconstructing lip defects resulting from trauma (e.g., electric burns), tumor resections, and other congenital anomalies.

Port wine stains (PWSs), hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasias (HHTs), hemangiomas, arterial venous malformations (AVMs), vascular granulomas and polyps, glomus tumors, and nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are vascular lesions of the head and neck potentially responsive to treatment with the argon laser. One hundred consecutive patients with PWSs, 25 patients with HHTs, three with subglottic hemangiomas, three with oral and/or lingual hemangiomas, two with labial AVMs, three with vascular laryngeal polyps, and one patient with inoperable glomus tumor were treated with the argon laser...

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an unusual and controversial lesion that occurs primarily in the head and neck area; oral involvement is rare. A case involving the labial mucosa, in which immunoglobulin deposits were found in association with a damaged centrally located artery, is described. The clinical and pathologic concepts presented in the literature are discussed. Suggestions that these lesions should be reclassified as epithelioid or histiocytoid hemangiomas may not apply to all of the cases that are acceptable as ALHE by current criteria...

A patient with a lymphangioma involving the labial commissure is reported. Key features of this disorder include its occurrence in young patients, asymptomatic nature, compressibility, and slow growth. Clinicians should understand that the lymphangioma may appear as a soft, grayish-blue, dome-shaped nodule, an irregular and papillary vesicular mass, or as a diffuse swelling. Appropriate clinical and radiographic tests are recommended before surgical excision. Histologically, the features of the lymphangioma may closely resemble those of a hemangioma...
