We present a previously undescribed, intravenously occurring papillary hemangioma of the lip in a 10‐year‐old girl. Maze‐like anastomosing capillary loops were found within the numerous, dilated veins widely distributed in the submucosa. These peculiar endovascular papillae of bland endothelial cells plugged the lumens and bore a striking resemblance to the renal glomeruli. Thrombi or other associated vascular lesions could not be identified. Because of its histological similarity to endovascular papillary angioendothelioma‐like tumor, we designate this tumor as endovascular papillary hemangioma.
