Tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma treated with laser photocoagulation

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), also known as pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular tumor most commonly affecting the skin or mucous membranes (oral and nasal). It is extremely rare among all primary tracheal tumors, and there are only few case reports in the literature.(1) Here, we present the case of a rare benign tracheal tumor presenting with recurrent hemoptysis, which was diagnosed by and treated with bronchoscopic techniques.
