This study evaluated a correlation between the proliferative and apoptotic rates of different oral vascular anomalies (VAs) by analyzing the immunoexpression of proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (Bcl-2 and Bax) markers in endothelial cells of 20 cases of GLUT-1 positive infantile hemangiomas (IHs), 20 cases of pyogenic granulomas (PGs) and 20 cases of vascular malformations (VMs). The gene discussed is BCL2; the disease is vascular malformation.
