Intra-oral calibre persistent artery
Summary
Calibre persistent arteries (CPA) penetrate into submucosal tissue without division or reduction in calibre. Intraorally, these abnormalities have been predominantly reported in the lip. Here we report a case of CPA in the buccal vestibule. Misdiagnosis of this entity may result in profuse bleeding during surgical intervention.
