Popis: A retrospective study was performed to describe the demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of cases of vascular anomalies in a Brazilian population. The data of cases diagnosed as vascular anomalies over a period of 46 years, were retrieved from the archives of the Pathological Anatomy Service of the Department of Dentistry of Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. Information about sex, age, race, diagnosis, location, and clinical characteristics was extracted. A database was created for analysis in the SPSS system and description of the results. The sample consisted of 597 cases categorized as follows: pyogenic granuloma (n = 454), infantile hemangioma (n = 57), vascular malformation (n = 37), lymphangioma (n = 20), hemangiolymph angioma (n = 10), vascular thrombus (n = 7), hemangio endothelioma (n = 5), angiofibroma (n = 1), hemangioendothelio sarcoma (n = 1), and Kaposi sarcoma (n = 5). Overall, there was a predominance of females (64.2 %), white race (54.2 %), and patients in the 3rd and 4th decades of life. Most cases affected the gingiva/ ridge (44.75 %), had a red/reddish color (60.07 %), sessile implantation (52.4 %), soft consistency (52.7 %) and nodular appearance (53, 9 %), and were non-hemorrhagic (51.3 %) and asymptomatic (76.6 %). The demographic and clinicopathological findings obtained for most of the vascular lesions analyzed are similar to those reported in published studies involving other populations. Knowledge of the particularities of these disorders is important for appropriate diagnosis and treatment decision.
