Lobular capillary hemangioma of the trachea – A rare cause of stridor in elderly: A case report with review of literature

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.

Anju Pradhan was added as an author of this paper on 04/03/2011Pyogenic granulomas (PG) are common benign vascular lesions of the skin and mucosa. They are neither infective, purulent nor granulomatous as the name might suggest-rather a reactive enlargement that is an inflammatory response to local irritation such as calculus, fractured tooth, minor trauma, rough dental restorations and foreign materials. Here, we report a case of 13 year old patient with PG and in addition to the knowledge, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis has been emphasized.

Surface Changes

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.
