Head and neck vascular tumors are common in children. Capillary hemangiomas are often easily confused with pyogenic granulomas due to histopathological resemblance. Furthermore, predisposing factors to pyogenic granulomas include an existing hemangioma, which may be co-existing entities. Surgical excision of large unsightly tumors causing functional deficits is a feasible management option. We report a case of a rapidly growing oral lesion in a toddler with feeding difficulties and anemia. It triggered a diagnostic dilemma as it was clinically consistent with a pyogenic granuloma but histologically diagnosed as a capillary hemangioma. It was successfully excised with no recurrence after 6 months.

Age, Sex, and Anatomical Location Patterns in Cutaneous Pyogenic Granuloma Cases.
JAMA Dermatol
January 2025
Division of Dermatology, Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, St Louis, Missouri.
Importance: Cutaneous pyogenic granulomas (PGs) are commonly encountered, benign, vascular tumors, in which epidemiologic factors have been variably reported, in part, due to sample size limitations and a focus on either adult or pediatric patients.
Objective: To assemble a large dataset of pathologically diagnosed PGs across the continuum of age and investigate patterns of PGs by demographic factors, including age, sex, and anatomical location.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective case series included case reports of patients with pathologically confirmed PGs of cutaneous origin reported between April 1, 2010, to March 31, 2020.
Prenatal Identification of Intracardiac Mass Expedites Surgical Management of Capillary-Venous Malformation.

Fetal and neonatal cardiac tumors are rare and often benign. Clinical presentation is primarily related to mass effect, pericardial effusion or arrhythmia. Prenatal detection can assist with risk assessment and inform optimal delivery plan and postnatal management.

We present a case of a 76-year-old man with de novo right heart failure. Echocardiography initially detected a mass near to the posterior area of the right atrium. Despite a comprehensive multimodality imaging assessment, the exact location of the mass remained unclear.

Introduction: Retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) is a benign vascular hamartoma that can occur sporadically or as a manifestation of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. If left untreated, it results in adverse ocular complications depending on its location and eventual visual loss.
Case Presentation: We present a 50-year-old man who was a known case of VHL with history of left eye vision loss in the left eye at the age of 30 years.
Primary intrarenal hemangioma - A series of 39 cases.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, USA. Electronic address:
Intrarenal hemangiomas lack concise clinicopathologic information, due to the predominance of single case reports and inclusion of other vascular neoplasms and hemangiomas of perirenal, hilar, and renal vein origin. Herein, in this multi-institutional study we evaluate clinicopathologic features of 39 intrarenal hemangiomas. The median age was 62 years (range = 27-94 years; 2:1 male to female ratio), with left-sided predominance (left = 21, right = 13; one case was bilateral).
