Differential Diagnosis

History:

 A 60-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic small grape or raisin-like compressible papulonodule on the base of the frenulum of the tongue (yellow-arrow) of 2 years duration. No associated skin or systemic findings.  The lesion was removed in toto as an excisional therapeutic-diagnostic biopsy and the result was “a dilated blood-filled vascular channel lined with a single layer of flattened endothelial cells and a thin wall of fibrous tissue filled with red blood cells."
