Subcutaneous Lobular Capillary Hemangioma Presenting as a Facial Mass

Lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. Subcutaneous lobular capillary hemangioma presents as a deeper nodule. Lack of the characteristic surface changes of this subtype of lobular capillary hemangioma makes the clinical diagnosis challenging. We describe clinical, radiologic, and histological features of a subcutaneous lobular capillary hemangioma tissue presenting as a facial mass in a 12-year-old male. The mass was a firm, nontender, immobile, subcutaneous nodule, with no color change of the overlying skin. CT imaging documented a hyperdense and nonlipomatous mass involving soft tissue of the left lateral nasal wall. An excisional biopsy was performed. Histologic evaluation showed subcutaneous lobular capillary hemangioma. Subcutaneous lobular capillary hemangioma, although uncommon, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lateral nasal wall mass in children.

ABSTRACT Capillary hemangioma also known as lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) or pyogenic granuloma is a benign, vascular lesion of unknown origin, composed of blood vessels and are probably developmental rather than neoplastic in origin. They usually affect skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity and rarely nasal mucosa. LCH bleeds on manipulations due to high vascularity. Microtraumas and hormonal imbalance are the major etiological factors in its development. Total excisional surgery is sufficient for treatment of the LCH. Capillary hemangioma arising from the nasal cavity is rarely encountered in our practice and rarely reported in the literature. We are reporting this case of LCH of lateral nasal wall because of its unusual location. How to cite this article Gupta DK, Somavanshi S, Agrawal A, Bharti R, Shree N.

Rare Location

Lobular capillary hemangioma, or pyogenic granuloma, is an acquired hemorrhagic benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. The pyogenic granuloma of the vulva is a rare finding and a limited number of case reports are available in the literature. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case described as a single pyogenic granuloma on the vulva.

Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) is a common acquired vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes in the pediatric age group. Pyogenic granuloma and hemangioma of oral cavity are well- known benign lesions. The clinical diagnosis and differentiation of these lesions is at times difficult. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of benign tumor occuring on hard palate which was clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma and hiatopathologically as capillary hemangioma.

Original Case

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) – also known as lobular capillary hemangioma – is a benign vascular tumour that occurs on the skin and mucous membranes. Genital warts—also known as condylomata acuminata—are raised lesions that develop on the skin and mucous membranes after infection with some types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Trichloroacetic acid is very often used, given the availability of the product and its low price. We report an original case of pyogenic granuloma, by its etiology and location. A 33-year-old patient developed a pyogenic granuloma on the scrotum following treatment of a condyloma with trichloroacetic acid. To the best of our knowledge, it’s the first case of PG secondary to the application of trichloroacetic acid for the treatment of a scrotal condyloma published in the literature.

ABSTRACT Nasal lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign lesion of unknown etiology. Epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms. We present a case of lobular capillary hemangioma, which was located on the posterior end of middle turbinate. The case is reported for its potential for being misdiagnosed and to highlight the advantage of nasal endoscopes in diagnosis and treatment.

Polypoidal Lesion

Lobular capillary hemangioma is a rare benign lesion found within the tracheobronchial tree. Patients usually present with recurrent hemoptysis, chronic cough, and rarely, with airway obstruction. We present a case of tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma in a 70-year-old man who presented with stridor and chronic cough. Bronchoscopy showed a 2-cm polypoidal lesion below the vocal cords, which was resected with an electrocautery snare using a rigid bronchoscope. Clinicians should be aware of this entity as one of the differentials for stridor. Bronchoscopic excision of the tumor is feasible and is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for management of these tumors.
