Abstract

Angiokeratoma is a rare cutaneous vascular disorder that can occur in several clinically distinct conditions. Oral mucosal angiokeratomas are rare and commonly seen as a component of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum. An 11 year old female child presented with swelling on dorsal surface of tongue since birth. Swelling was erythematous, sessile, non tender. There were no other lesions on oral mucosa or anywhere on skin. Surgical excision was done and on histopathological analysis a diagnosis of angiokeratoma was made. Isolated oral Angiokeratomas are rare. Previous literature search revealed only a single case of Angiokeratoma of tongue with congenital etiology. We are describing a case of angiokeratoma of tongue which is solitary and congenital.
