Arteriovenous Malformation of the Lip: A Rare Case Report.

Vascular malformation (VM) consists of a group of tumors that emerge from vascular origin caused by vascular angiovascular or lymphoproliferation. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) contribute high-flow, creating direct vein artery contact without regular capillary network. AVMs are present at birth or in congenital. Acquired AVMs occur later in life due to hormonal changes or trauma, and acquired AVMs in oral cavity are very rare. AVMs are persistent and progressive in nature when present, can represent a lethal, causing significant blood loss, and an incomplete resection frequently leads to a recurrence of the lesion. We present a rare case of a congenital AVM diagnosed on retinue dental checkup using color doppler ultrasonography (USG) in a 62-year-old man from South India.
