J Oral Pathol Med. 2004 Sep;33(8):451-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0714.2004.00211.x.

Abstract

Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectactic tumor (PHAT) of soft parts is a recently defined mesenchymal tumor of uncertain differentiation, with only a limited number of examples reported to date. We present a case of PHAT of the buccal mucosa in an 86-year-old woman. To our knowledge, there is no formal description of this tumor in the oral cavity.
