Nasal septal lobular capillary haemangioma in West Africa sub-region: a case report
Cases Journal, 2009
Introduction: Lobular capillary haemangioma is a rare vascular lesion of the nose. It is the aim of this communication to highlight the importance of considering this lesion as an important differential diagnosis of bleeding lesion in the nasal cavity. Case presentation: A case report of a 41-year-old female who presented with an obstructive, bleeding, pedunculated left nasal mass arising from the nasal septum in the anterior nasal cavity. An initial diagnosis of squamous papilloma was made and she had excision of the mass done under local anaesthesia. Tissue histology revealed lobular capillary haemangioma. The patient has been followed up for over 15 months and is still free of the lesion. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of lobular capillary haemangioma in the nasal septum in West Africa. The case is reported due to the rarity of this lesion in our environment.

This work is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License Pyogenic granuloma (PG), a benign, reactive, vascular exophytic growth occurring in oral cavity with a sessile or pedunculated base. Commonly occurs on gingiva, lip, tongue, buccal mucosa, palate and floor of the mouth. The usual causative agents are calculus, presence of foreign body, although certain drugs and hormonal imbalances precipitate its growth. Difficulty in speech, mastication and compromised aesthetics is encountered when increased in size. Histologically two variants are reported: Lobulated capillary haemangioma (LCH) and non-LCH. LCH shows organised arrangement of lobular aggregates of blood vessels whereas, non-LCH features granulation tissue type without lobular aggregates. The treatment consists of elimination of local irritants with conservative surgical excision. This case report deals with a patient who presented with long standing PG at multiple sites causing him difficulty in mastication leading to inadequate dietary intake which causing undernourishment. The management included elimination of local factors and excision by diode laser.
Congenital Lobular Capillary Hemangioma of Nasal Septum in a 4 Year Old Child – A Case Report
The Journal of medical research, 2015
Lobular capillary haemangioma is a benign, rapidly growing lesion of skin and mucus membrane. It usually involves gingiva, lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa. Nasal cavity is a rare location. Generally cases of haemangioma have been reported in children with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. We report a case of a 4yr old boy with congenital lobular capillary haemangioma of nose without epistaxis.

A 16 year-old female presented for her cosmetic deformity with a slowly progressing swelling of insidious onset on the upper part of the bridge of the nose slightly towards the left side for 3 year duration. Clinical & radiological examination revealed an intra-osseous tumor of nasal bone. Histopathologically the tumor was a cavernous haemangioma of nasal bone. A follow up study upto 13-year showed no recurrence. A detailed search of world literature is carried out with clinical history & history of trauma. It could that nasal bone haemangioma is separate disease entity. The patients usually seek advise for their cosmetic deformity & sometime for nasal bleeding.
Capillary Haemangioma - a Case Report
2014
Haemangioma are relatively uncommon lesions, but head and neck is a common region. Although haemangioma is common in head and neck its rarely seen intraoraly. Haemangioma is histologically classified into capillary and cavernous forms. Ultra sound imaging, Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for volumetric analysis of haemangioma. This article reports a rare case of capillary haemangioma in the tongue.
Large Capillary Haemangioma: A Case Report And Review Of Literature
Background: A capillary haemangioma (strawberry birthmark) is a benign tumour consisting of an abnormal overgrowth of tiny blood vessels. Capillary haemangioma may not be present at birth, but may appear at 6 months of life. This vascular tumour is not common. We therefore report a case of large capillary haemangioma of the cheek in a five month old boy. Aim: To outline the clinical presentation and management of a large capillary haemangioma of the cheek in a five month old baby boy. Findings: The tumour occurred on the left cheek and measured 5cm by 4cm at presentation. Injection of sclerosant was done three times under general anaesthesia and final excision of the fibrous tissue was done. Conclusion: Large capillary haemangiomas of the cheek affect the appearance of the child and causes undue pressure on the contingent tissues. This causes anxiety for the care givers. It is essential to treat the tumour as early as possible especially in large lesion with disfigurement or where it is complicated by haemorrhage or infection.
Cavernous haemangioma of the left nasal cavity
Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Società italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 2008
Cavernous haemangioma of the nose is a rare lesion but it has to be added to the differential diagnosis of an intra-nasal bleeding mass. A high index of suspicion, upon computed tomography delineation of the extent of the mass, including the presence of bone remodelling plus histological evaluation can be usefully employed to define an accurate diagnosis. In the present case of an adult female with a huge cavernous haemangioma arising from the mucosa of the left middle nasal meatus, the two most interesting points were the rarity as a site of occurrence of this tumour and the successful extirpation of this lesion with the minimally invasive trans-nasal endoscopic technique. We recommend the minimal invasive trans-nasal endoscopic technique for adequate exposure, sufficient control of bleeding and for complete removal of a nasal haemangioma reaching the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses.
Lobular Capillary Hemangioma of Nasal Septum - A rare presentation
International Journal of Biomedical Research, 2015
Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (LCH) is a benign, rapidly growing, vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. It usually involves lips, gingiva, tongue and buccal mucosa. Involvement of nasal cavity is a rare presentation. In the nasal cavity, anterior part of nasal septum is the most frequently affected site. It commonly occurs in the third decade, and in females. The etiology until now remains obscure. The usual presenting symptoms are nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Endoscopic surgical excision is the preferred treatment of choice. In the present case, we describe a 14-year old male with left sided nasal obstruction due to a growing mass in the left nasal cavity. This case is reported for its rarity, and typical clinical and microscopic findings.
Rare presentation of capillary haemangioma
BMJ Case Reports, 2019
Conjunctival capillary haemangiomas are very rare above 40 years of age group, with few cases reported in the literature. Adding to the scanty literature of this uncommon vascular tumour, we present the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with a nodular growth in the conjunctiva without any associated systemic diseases or cutaneous lesion. Excisional biopsy of the mass was done. Histopathological examination showed lobulated capillary haemangioma which is very rare in this age group.
