<p class="abstract">Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes commonly affecting the head and neck but less common in the nasal septum. Septal PG and can present with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. It is also called a lobular capillary hemangiomas (LCH) as histologically, pyogenic granuloma consists of circumscribed aggregates of capillaries arranged in lobules. Granulomatous lesions like Wegners granulomatosis, sarcoidosis and also tumours like squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma can all mimic a septal PG. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and diagnosis can be confirmed by histopathological examination. Complete resection can decrease the rates of recurrence. Here we reported a case of pyogenic granuloma of the nasal septum in a young female patient.</p>

AbstractA case of a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal septum in a young female with initial symptom of septal perforation is reported. Carcinoma of the nasal septum is an uncommon entity and there are a few cases reported in the literature. The functional impact of their treatment and the high mortality makes it important to diagnose it at early stage. We discuss the differential diagnosis of septal perforation and recommend early wide surgical excision.

Common Primary Malignant Bone

AbstractChondrosarcomas are the second most common primary malignant bone tumors. Head and neck chondrosarcomas constitute less than 10% of these tumors, rarely arising from the nasal septum. These are locally aggressive malignant tumors arising from the cartilaginous framework of the nasal septum. Rarity of the tumor coupled with nonspecific symptoms makes it a diagnostic dilemma. Diagnosis requires endoscopy, radiology, and final histopathology for confirmation. Treatment is mainly surgical, requiring complete surgical excision with clear margins. Radiation has a role in unresectable tumors or for tumors with positive margins after surgery. Survival depends on the grade of tumor that predicts the metastatic potential of the tumor. We present a rare case of chondrosarcoma arising from the nasal septum in a 29-year-old young female presenting with complaints of nasal obstruction. Computed tomography was suggestive of a calcified cartilaginous tumor arising from the nasal septum. Endoscopic excision was done and postoperative histopathology showed grade II chondrosarcoma with clear margins. No adjuvant treatment was given to our patient and 2 years post-excision patient is disease free.To conclude, chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is a rare tumor, with nonspecific symptoms. Surgery with clear margins remains the treatment of choice. Prognosis depends on the extent of tumor at presentation, resection margins, and grade of tumor.

Initial Choice

A review of 85 Mayo Clinic patients with carcinoma of the nasal septum revealed squamous cell carcinoma (58 patients) to be the predominant cell type, with adenocarcinoma (12 patients) and malignant melanoma (7 patients) being next in frequency. Twenty-five (29%) of the 85 patients had metastatic disease. Twenty percent (17) of the patients had another malignancy at some time during their lives. The study suggests that tobacco smoking may have a role in the etiology of squamous cell carcinomas of the nasal septum. In most patients, wide surgical excision was the initial choice of treatment.

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.

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.

Spindle Cell Proliferation

Pyogenic granuloma-like Kaposi sarcoma (PGLKS) is an uncommon variant of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), which mimics benign pyogenic granuloma both clinically and histologically. We report a case of PGLKS of the toe occurring in a HIV-positive individual. It presented as a 2cm skin swelling of 2 weeks’ duration which was clinically felt to be a pyogenic granuloma. Histopathological examination revealed a polypoid atypical vascular lesion with overlying peripheral epidermal collarette. Spindle cell proliferation typically seen in KS was also identified, which was positive for human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) by immunohistochemistry, confirming the diagnosis of PGLKS. Upon review of the literature, our case is the 29th case of PGLKS reported to date, and only the sixth in Asian population. Particular attention to histomorphology, and demonstration of HHV8 in lesional tissue will aid accurate diagnosis of this rare entity.

Gingival Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Gingival Squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) in maxilla is a rare malignant neoplasm especially when compared with mandible. The most common sites of oral carcinoma are being the lateral border of the tongue and the floor of the mouth which is followed by palate, buccal mucosa and rarely in gingiva. The clinical picture of oral carcinoma can be misguided for gingival overgrowth, desquamative lesions, traumatic ulcers or even pyogenic granuloma. Maxillary oral gingival carcinoma is a rare entity especially in a non-smoker. In this case report, a 70-year-old male patient presented with a gingival lesion in maxilla 24,25 region mimicking pyogenic granuloma without having a tobacco history. A thorough clinical, radiographical and histopathological examination was done and led to the diagnosis of GSCC and the treatment was initiated.Creating awareness among practitioners about gingival squamous cell carcinoma mimicking pyogenic granuloma in dental practice.

Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as Masson’s tumour, is an uncommon benign vascular lesion characterized by small multiple, endothelial-lined, papillary structures with hyaline stalks. It appears to be a reactive condition involving excessive proliferation of endothelial cells in normal blood vessels or in vascular malformations, perhaps in response to blood vessel injury or thrombosis. The lesions are small, superficial, reddish-blue nodules, usually in the head, neck or hand. Distinction from pyogenic granuloma and angiosarcoma usually requires pathological examination. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Four cases affecting the finger are presented together with histological features.

The Right

An extremely rare case of a granular cell tumour arising from the right Kiesselbach's area (Little's area) of the nasal septum is reported. A 69-year-old Japanese woman consulted our clinic and her chief complaints were of continuous serous discharge, stuffiness and occasional slight bleeding from the right nasal cavity. Fibrescopy showed a multilocular mass, which was provisionally considered a nasal polyp. Surgical excision was attempted. During surgery, the tumour shrank markedly following local application of adrenaline, suggestive of hypervascularity. The tumour was successfully excised by careful dissection after cauterisation of the mucosa surrounding the tumour. Histopathological examination revealed morphological features of granular cell tumour immunopositive for S-100 protein. This is the first report of granular cell tumour arising from the Kiesselbach's area in the English literature. The eccentric behaviour of the tumour and the management of a granular cell tumour arising from this area are discussed, together with a literature review.

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.
