Abstract

|
|
Purpose: To report a case of episcleral capillary hemangioma.
Case summary: A 17-year-old woman with a left conjunctival mass since the age of 4 years visited our clinic with lesion growth that began 4 months prior. At the initial visit, the patient presented with a subconjunctival hemangiomatous mass of 3.5 × 4.5 mm in size and firmly adhered to the underlying sclera, with a feeding vessel on the temporal side of the left eye. Excisional biopsy of the mass and amniotic membrane transplantation were performed. The biopsy showed many enlarged, congested blood vessels involving subconjunctival and episcleral tissue, consistent with capillary hemangioma, as confirmed by immunohistochemical staining. There was no evidence of other hemangiomatous lesions in the eye or other areas of the body. To date, the patient has been without hemangioma recurrence for 1 year.
Conclusions: We noted a solitary episcleral capillary hemangioma and successfully treated the lesion.
