Abstract

Acquired tufted angioma is a rare, cutaneous and slow growing benign vascular neoplasm that usually affects pediatric populations. Only six cases of oral mucosal acquired tufted angioma have been reported in the English language literature. We present in this report the seventh case and discuss its clinical and pathological features.
