Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that are relatively unusual in the oral cavity. The management of labial hemangiomas may be challenging for functional and esthetic reasons. In the present case, a 12-year-old boy with a large congenital hemangioma in the area of the upper lip was referred due to esthetic concerns and a history of treatment failure.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the clinical and microscopic findings of mandibular buccal bifurcation cysts (MBBCs) in an original case series and to perform a literature review of this lesion.

Study Design: Paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from patients microscopically diagnosed with MBBCs were retrieved from 4 oral and maxillofacial pathology archives. Data, including clinical, radiographic, and microscopic characteristics, treatments used, and follow-up status, were collected from the pathology records.

Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a rare lesion of a traumatic-reactive nature of the oral mucosa that can clinically mimic an oral carcinoma. A 59-year-old male patient presented painful ulceration with indurated margins on the base of the tongue, extending to the floor of the mouth. The use of ill-fitting denture hurting the mucosa of the region was reported by the patient.

Background: Primary oral mucosal melanoma (OMM) represents an extremely rare and aggressive tumor that arises from malignant transformation and clonal expansion of melanocytes in the oral cavity. The prognosis of patients affected by OMM is quite unfavorable, with survival rates lower than those described for patients with cutaneous melanoma.

Case Report: Here, we report a case of OMM in a 59-year-old Caucasian woman, who was referred for evaluation of a large asymptomatic pigmented lesion on the left side of the hard palate under the removable total denture.

Metastases in the oral cavity are rare and frequently associated with widespread disease and poor prognosis. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), known for its propensity for metastatic spread. The diagnosis of oral metastases from ccRCC is challenging, especially when the patient has no history of primary neoplasm.

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that affects smooth muscle tissue. Leiomyosarcomas are exceedingly rare in the oral cavity, particularly in the buccal mucosa. The diagnosis is challenging due to non-specific clinical features and significant overlap of morphological findings with several spindle cell tumors.

Pleomorphic lipomas are extremely rare in the oral cavity. Due to the significant overlap of morphological findings with several benign and malignant soft tissue tumors, especially in the absence of adipocytes, the diagnosis is challenging. We reported the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of an uncommon case of a fat-free variant of pleomorphic lipoma in a 48-year-old female presenting clinically as a painless nodule on the buccal mucosa.
