They are broadly classified into vascular tumor or hemangioma and vascular malformation. An accurate diagnosis can be made by a detail case history, clinical presentation, ultrasonography, computerized tomography, arteriography, and histopathological examination. Due to complex nature of these vascular lesions a multidisciplinary approach is frequently necessary for their management. Herein, we present a case report of management of a vascular malformation on lower lip with diode laser. This paper also summarizes the etiopathogenesis, classification and treatment modalities of vascular malformations.}, URL ={http://www.jdentlasers.org/article.asp?issn=2321-1385;year=2013;volume=7;issue=2;spage=81;epage=84;aulast=Kamal;t=6}, eprint ={http://www.jdentlasers.org/article.asp?issn=2321-1385;year=2013;volume=7;issue=2;spage=81;epage=84;aulast=Kamal;t=6} }
