description Vascular anomalies comprise a widely heterogeneous group of tumours and malformations. Haemangioma is the most common benign tumour of vascular origin of the head and neck region. The possible sites of occurrence in oral cavity are lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate.

This case study reports a rare case of capillary haemangioma on the palatal gingiva in a 14-year-old female.
