Abstract
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) usually presents as a cutaneous lesion consisting of a reactive proliferation of endothelial cells that arise in an organizing thrombus. This lesion can easily be mistaken for an angiosarcoma. Oral presentations are rare, and when they do occur the most common site is the lip. A rare case of IPEH affecting the mandibular buccal mucosa is described.
