Capillary hemangiomas are rare benign vascular lesions, commonly found on scalp, face, chest, or back of a neonate or infant. Hemangiomas of the central nervous system are very rare lesions. There are only a few cases of intracranial capillary hemangioma (ICH) arising in adults reported in the literature. We present a case of 59-year-old female with intermit- tent recurrent headache localized in the frontal area. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed left frontal extra-axial mass with peripheral enhancement. The patient underwent com- plete surgical resection of the tumor. Histopathology examination of the lesion revealed well dened vascular lesion composed of closely packed plump endothelial cells lining slit- like vascular channels containing scattered red blood cells. No evidence of inltrative brain parenchyma was seen. Ki-67 proliferative index was low, less than 2%. The nal diagnosis was conrmed to be ICH by histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies. The patient has remained healthy and free of disease 39 months since her initial surgery. ICH is a be- nign vascular lesion which rarely occurs in the central nervous system, particularly in the intracranial region. It can mimic malignant lesions on radiologic studies. Histopathology examination is the gold standard for diagnosis. If total resection is achieved, prognosis is generally good with no evidence of recurrence.

Intracranial capillary hemangioma: case report and review of the literature

Surgical Neurology, 2005

Background: Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions that commonly present at birth or in early infancy on the face, scalp, back, or chest. The authors present an exceedingly rare case of an intracranial capillary hemangioma arising in an adult. Only 4 biopsy-proven cases have been reported in the pediatric population previous to this case report. Case Description: A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented at 38 weeks of gestation with severe headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Imaging revealed an extra-axial mass lesion arising from the tentorium with both supra-and infratentorial components. The patient underwent a resection of her tumor, which was diagnosed as a capillary hemangioma by histopathologic examination. The patient required 2 further resections after the lesion exhibited a rapid regrowth from residual tumor in the left transverse sinus. The patient has remained free of disease 41 months out from her third surgery. Conclusions: Intracranial capillary hemangiomas are exceedingly rare entities, with a capability for rapid growth. When gross total resection cannot be achieved, these patients should be observed closely, and the use of adjuvant radiotherapy should be considered. D

Large capillary hemangioma of the temporal bone with a dural tail sign: A case report

Oncology Letters, 2014

The present study reports a rare case of large capillary hemangioma of the temporal bone with a dural tail sign. A 57-year-old female presented with pulsatile tinnitus and episodic vertigo associated with a ten-year history of an intermittent faint headache. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right petrous bone, which was hypointense on T1-weighted images and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and showed a dural tail sign following gadolinium administration. Pre-operatively, this tumor was believed to be a meningioma. During surgery, the vascular tumor was removed by a modified pterional approach. A histopathological examination indicated that the tumor was a capillary hemangioma. Although intraosseous capillary hemangiomas are rare, they most frequently affect the temporal bone. Hemangiomas of the temporal bone may mimic other more common basal tumors. The diagnosis is most often made during surgical resection. The dural tail sign is not specific for meningioma, as it also occurs in other intracranial or extracranial tumors. The treatment of intratemporal hemangiomas is complete surgical excision, with radiotherapy used for unresectable lesions. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the fourth case of intraosseous intracranial capillary hemangioma, but the largest intratemporal hemangioma to be reported in the literature to date.

Lobular Capillary Hemangioma of Head and Neck Region: A Retrospective Study in A Tertiary Centre

Scholarly journal of otolaryngology, 2020

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is synonymously known as pyogenic granuloma, epulis gravidarum, eruptive hemangioma, granulation tissue-type hemangioma, granuloma gravidarum, pregnancy tumor and botryomycome [1-3]. It is a benign, fast growing, capillary proliferation with a microscopically distinct lobular architecture that affects the skin and mucous membranes of the oral and, rarely, of the nasal cavities and internal organs such as brain and liver [4-9]. Poncet and Dor were the first ones to describe it in 1897 as human botryomycosis and referred to these tumors as small vascular tumors in the fingers of four patients [1,7,10,11]. Oral cavity mucosa is the predominant site for LCH occurrence, but nasal cavity involvement is rare. Anterior septum (Little's area) is the most frequently affected site followed by turbinate, but lesions have also been described arising from the maxillary sinus, roof of nasal cavity and floor of nasal vestibule

Intraosseous Hemangioma: A Case Report and Review of Literature

International Journal of Head and Neck Surgery, 2013

Intraosseous vascular lesions are rare conditions, comprising only 0.5 to 1% of all intraosseous hemangioma tumors. They mainly occur in the second decade of life especially in female. The most common locations are the vertebral column and skull; nevertheless, the mandible is quite rare location. Hemangiomas are benign vasoformative neoplasms of endothelial origin. However, the origin of central hemangioma is debatable. Cavernous hemangioma produces dilemma in diagnosis with central gaint cell tumor, aneurysmal bone cyst, ameloblastoma, cystic lesion such as residual cyst, keratocyst and fibro-osseous lesions, such as fibrous dysplasia being frontier in clinical diagnosis. Here, we report a 6 years male with cavernous hemangioma of mandible.

Intraosseous Mandibular Capillary Hemangioma Most Likely of Traumatic Origin

Acta Scientific Dental Scienecs, 2021

Intraosseous Hemangiomas account for approximately 0.5% to 1% of all intraosseous tumors. They are frequently located in the vertebral skeleton than the facial bones. They usually occur in the cavernous type. The capillary type is rarer. It is usually asymptomatic and most often discovered incidentally on plain radiographs. The pathogenesis of intraosseous hemangioma remains unknown. It could be congenital or due to previous trauma. Treatment of hemangiomas varies depending on the lesion's extension and dimension. It consists basically on surgical excision with or without preoperative embolization. In this paper, we report a case of a 51-year-old woman with intraosseous mandibular capillary hemangioma, located on the tip of the mandibular ridge evocating a traumatic origin, probably due to the extraction of the 46. It was treated by a simple resection without postoperative complications.

Hemangioendothelioma of the skull: A case report

Radiography, 2008

Hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumour of endothelial cell origin. It may involve bone or soft tissues and can behave like a benign or malignant tumour. A 54-year-old man presented with localized swelling over the parietal and occipital bones. He was neurologically intact. Radiographic images showed an expansible osteolytic lesion in the parietal-occipital bones. The patient was treated by wide surgical resection. This report contributes to the scarce literature on these tumours in the skull.

Capillary Hemangioma in Maxillary Anterior Region: A Case Report

International Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry, 2014

Hemangiomas are relatively common benign proliferative lesion of vascular tissue origin. They are often present at birth and may become more apparent throughout life. They are seen on facial skin, tongue, lips, buccal mucosa and palate as well as muscles. Hemangiomas occur more common in females than males. This case report presents a case of capillary hemangioma in maxillary anterior region in a 10-year-old boy.

Frontal Bone Hemangioma in an 8-year-old Female: A Common Tumor in a Rare Location

Journal of Neurosciences in Rural Practice, 2016

ABSTRACTIntraosseous hemangioma is a rare bone tumor accounting for 0.7%–1.0% of all bone tumors. In the skull, frontal bone is the commonly involved bone. An 8-year-old female presented to our outpatient department with complaints of pain and swelling over forehead for 4 months. X-ray revealed a lytic expansile lesion involving frontal bone with sunburst pattern of bony spicules radiating to periphery of the lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of a well-circumscribed lesion with both intra as well as extracranial components. Histopathology revealed a vascular tumor consisting of both small (capillary) and large (cavernous) sized vessels. A diagnosis of mixed type of hemangioma of the frontal bone was given. Recognition of hemangioma on radiology and confirmation by histopathology is essential for proper management as it might be confused clinically with other locally aggressive/malignant lesions.
