A Case of Lobular Capillary Hemangioma at the False Vocal Cord With Intermittent Stridor

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a type of benign vascular tumor. It arises from vascular endothelial cells and contains capillaries arranged in a lobular pattern. In the head and neck, the most common presenting location of LCH is the lips, and presentation in the larynx is very rare. LCH might not be distinct from granuloma in macroscopic views. We report a 71-year-old female with LCH of the larynx that was totally resected via laryngeal microsurgery with a CO2 laser and briefly review the literature.

Pyogenic granuloma of the scrotum after treatment of a condyloma with tricholoroacetic acid

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.

Giant pyogenic granuloma complicating a folliculitis decalvans

<p class="abstract">Pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma is a common and benign vascular proliferation that affects the skin and mucosa. It that can take many forms and be misleading in some cases. Its giant variant is very rare. The pathogenesis is unknown but multiple factors can play a role on its onset. It is considered to be a pseudotumoral reaction to various stimuli, such as trauma, hormonal changes or the use of some medications. We report the case of a 35 years old male patient who presented with a large, ulcerated tumefaction of the scalp evolving since 4 months. The physical examination revealed a crescent shaped large ulcerated tumor with signs folliculitis decalvans in the rest of the scalp. A skin biopsy was made and confirmed the diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. The treatment consisted of a shave excision of the entire lesion. No recurrences were noted after two years of follow-up. This case illustrates the possible association of pyogenic granuloma with underlying dermatoses such as folliculitis decalvans.</p>

Lobular Capillary Hemangioma Originating From the Posterior End of the Inferior Turbinate: A Very Rare Occurrence

Lobular capillary hemangioma mostly occurs in the anterior portion of the nasal cavity, rarely occurring in the posterior end of the inferior turbinate, as in this case. We report a case of lobular capillary hemangioma originating from the posterior end of the right inferior turbinate, which was successfully removed via an endoscopic endonasal approach.
