Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a rapidly growing benign vascular neoplasm of unknownetiology. LCH usually occurs on the cutaneous and mucosal surfaces, such as gingiva,lips, fingers, and face. LCH was previously called ‘pyogenic granuloma (PG),’ because it wasthought to be granulation of tissue occurring in reaction to an infectious etiology despite thefact that it demonstrates no infectious signs in histology or microbiology. Instead, its featuresseem more like angiomatous lesions rather than granulomatous lesions, so the term ‘LCH’ hasbeen used thereafter. Reports of LCH of hypopharynx have been rare. Here we report a 63-yearoldmale patient with LCH of hypopharynx with a review of related literature.
