Abstract:
Hemangiomas are common tumors characterized microscopically by proliferation of blood vessels. The congenital hemangioma is often present at birth and may become more apparent throughout life.

This case report presents a case of capillary hemangioma of anterior palatal mucosa in a 13-year-old female.
