Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) is a common acquired vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes in the pediatric age group. Pyogenic granuloma and hemangioma of oral cavity are wellknown benign lesions. The clinical diagnosis and differentiation of these lesions is at times difficult. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of benign tumor occuring on ha...

Breast capillary hemangioma is a type of benign vascular tumor which is rarely seen. Little is known about its presentation on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Here, we describe a case of suspicious breast lesion detected by DCE-MRI and pathologically confirmed as capillary hemangioma. Our case indicates that a small mass with a superficial location, clear boundar...

Capillary hemangioma also known as lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) or pyogenic granuloma is a benign, vascular lesion of unknown origin, composed of blood vessels and are probably developmental rather than neoplastic in origin. They usually affect skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity and rarely nasal mucosa. LCH bleeds on manipulations due to high vascularity. Microtraumas and hormon...

Prenatal MR findings of a case of extracranial capillary hemangioma simulating an encephalocele at sonography are reported. MR imaging had an adjunctive diagnostic role in excluding the possibility of an encephalocele. The capillary hemangioma had diffuse T2 hypointensity prenatally, which is atypical of postnatal imaging findings.

Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. Hereby, authors report a w...

A 32-year-old woman presented to our department with a 10-month history of right-sided intermittant otorrhagia. There was no history of hearing loss or pulsatile tinnitus. Otomicroscopic examination revealed a reddish mass arising from the right antero-superior portion of bony canal wall, which measured about 1 cm in diameter. The tympanic membrane seemed to be uninvolved. A computed tomography...
