Caliber-Persistent Artery by Sabrina Araújo Pinho Costa, Marcelo Martinson Ruiz, Shajadi Pardo Kaba, Giovanna Piacenza Florezi, Celso Augusto Lemos Júnior, Andréa Lusvarghi Witzel

“…Caliber-persistent artery (CPLA) of the lip is a common vascular anomaly in which a main arterial branch extends to the surface of the mucous tissue with no reduction in its diameter. It usually manifests as pulsatile papule, is easily misdiagnosed, and is observed more frequently among older people, suggesting that its development may involve a degenerative process associated with aging; CPLA is also characterized by the loss of tone of the adjacent supporting connective tissue. …”
