AI Article Synopsis

  • A 29-year-old man had swelling in his gums for 20 days, especially near his back teeth on the lower left side.
  • Doctors thought it might be a pyogenic granuloma and did surgery with a special laser, but they found unexpected bleeding during the procedure.
  • After checking again, they discovered a rare blood vessel was causing the swelling, which turned out to be a lobular capillary hemangioma, and the patient didn't have any problems for 2 years after that.

Article Abstract

The aim of this case report is to present a unique and rare finding in a 29-year-old male with the chief complaint of swelling in the gums related to the back teeth of the lower left jaw, since 20 days. In the absence of any alarming findings on the intraoral periapical radiograph and blood profile, an excisional biopsy of the provisionally diagnosed pyogenic granuloma was planned with a high-power diode LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Following the excision, an unusual amount of bleeding was encountered from a single point on the buccal cortical plate between the teeth #35 and #36. On reevaluating the left face with advanced radiodiagnostic methods, an accessory buccal foramen was reported distal to #35 which housed a thin, tortuous, and aberrant branch of the inferior alveolar artery. The swelling was histopathologically diagnosed as lobular capillary hemangioma, and the aberrant artery was labeled as its feeder vessel. The patient had no episode of recurrence until 2 years of follow-up.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

Article Synopsis
  • Lobular capillary hemangioma, also known as pyogenic granuloma, is a benign tumor that develops on skin and mucous membranes, often found in the mouth or nose, and is associated with factors like trauma and hormonal changes.
  • The diagnosis of this condition is primarily confirmed through histological examination due to its diverse and nonspecific clinical features.
  • A case study highlights a 60-year-old man with a PG in the vestibular larynx that caused throat discomfort and sleep apnea, which was successfully removed through a surgical procedure and confirmed as a lobular capillary hemangioma via histology.

Lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor predominantly seen in pediatric populations. A 34-year-old male developed a reddish nodular mass on the upper eyelid of his left eye. An excisional biopsy was performed, and a histopathological examination of the specimen revealed proliferative vessels lined by increased endothelial cells, devoid of nuclear atypia.

Intravascular lobular capillary hemangioma (ILCH), also known as intravenous pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular lesion with a distinctive lobular arrangement of capillaries. It is typically confined to the head, neck, and upper extremities, and its occurrence in the testicular region is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case of a 68-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with a testicular tumor based on imaging studies but was later found to have an ILCH located in the epididymis.
