Hemangioma and Vascular Malformations
Hemangiomas are considered to be benign tumors of infancythat are characterized by a rapid growth phase with endothelialcell proliferation, followed by gradual involution
Vascular malformations are structural anomalies of bloodvessels without endothelial proliferation
Most hemangiomas are not recognized at birth, but arise duringthe first 8 weeks later of life
Vascular malformations are present at birth and persistthroughout life

Metastases to Oral Soft Tissues
Uncommon representing 1% of all oral malignancies
Oral metastases can occur in bone and soft tissues
Lymphatic and blood-borne route
Batson’s plexus: a valveless vertebral venous plexus thatmight allow retrograde spread of tumor cells, bypassingfiltration through the lungs
GINGIVA followed by the tongue
Nodular masses often resembling hyperplastic or reactivegrowths with occasional ulcerations and loosening ofadjacent teeth

Oral metastases is more common in malesMore common in middle-aged and older adultsMale: Primary tumor is seen in lung cancerFemale: Primary tumor is seen in breast cancer (25% of cases)
In most cases, the primary tumor is known before themetastases is discovered; HOWEVER IN SOME CASES THEORAL LESION IS THE FIRST SIGN OF MALIGNANT DISEASE
Histology is similar to the primary tumorMOST CASES TO ORAL CAVITY ARE CARCINOMAS ANDNOT SARCOMAS
Treatment: Poor prognosis; palliative management
