BACKGROUND The spleen is mainly affected by benign tumors that originate from the vascular endothelium. The most common is hemangioma, which presents as a small, localized lesion. Isolated diffuse hemangiomatosis of the spleen is a rare entity in which the entire splenic parenchyma is replaced by a proliferation of neoplastic blood vessels. Here we illustrate the case of a 26-year-old man prese...

A 59-year-old woman underwent simple hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and extensive lymph nodes dissection for endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma. She was negative for HIV. A total of 63 lymph nodes were dissected. One lymph node (left common iliac lymph node) showed tumorous aggregation of dilated capillaries (Figure 1A). The lesion of capillary was 0.2 x 0.3 cm. The capilla...

L obular capillary hemangiomas, also known as pyogenic granulomas, are common, benign, vascular proliferations of the cutaneous or mucous surfaces that grow rapidly and are prone to ulceration and bleeding. Recurrence of lobular capillary hemangiomas in the same location after treatment is commonwith rates ranging from 3.7% to 43.5%. Well-known causes of lobular capillary hemangiomas are trauma...

INTRODUCTION Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a benign lesion of vascular origin. It rarely involves nasal cavity which most commonly manifests as progressive nasal obstruction and epistaxis. CASE REPORT In this report we present a case of LCH of the nasal cavity which occurred approximately one month after delivery. There was no recurrence after complete endoscopic resection during one ...

Introduction Solid masses in the testicular and paratesticular region are rare in the pediatric age group more so in infancy. Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI), juvenile xanthogranuloma, capillary hemangioma, desmoid tumor, lipoma of the cord are some of the rare pathologic findings among the benign masses in the paratesticular location. We report a case of paratesticularhamartoma in a 10 mont...
