Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is usually a cutaneous lesion thought to represent a peculiar manifestation of an organizing thrombus. IPEH can be subdivided into a pure form that occurs within a dilated vascular space and a mixed form that appears as a focal change within a preexisting vascular lesion, such as hemangioma. The principle significance of the lesion lies in the fact that it may be mistaken for angiosarcoma. Oral lesions are uncommon and the present paper reports on 16 new cases of oral IPEH, analyzing their clinical and histomorphologic features. Histologically, 11 lesions appeared in a pure form and 5 lesions in a mixed form. Thrombi were detected in all but one case. The most common location was the lip, followed in decreasing frequency by the tongue and buccal mucosa. Local excision was the treatment of choice.
