Abstract
A plethora of pathologies occurs in the skeletal as well as the soft tissues of maxillofacial region and can be reactive. These lesions present with varied radiological and histological features and they can pose a diagnostic dilemma to the clinician. Our article reports a rare case of benign reactive vascular lesion with osseous metaplasia in the right palatal aspect of the oral cavity. The lesion was bony hard in consistency with occasional bleeding and erythematous in appearance of size about 3cm*3cm*3cm. The lesion had a progressive increase in size since 2 months with no tenderness on palpation. Our case emphasizes on correlating the clinical and investigational findings to arrive at the correct diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment in a systematic manner.
