Angioleiomioma oral mimetizando um granuloma piogênico: relato de caso raro / Oral Angioleiomyoma mimetizing a pyogenic granuloma: A rare case report

Angioleiomioma (AL) é um tumor benigno de origem perivascular que raramente é observado na cavidade oral, principalmente em localizações como a gengiva. Devido sua apresentação clínica inespecífica, os ALs podem mimetizar outras lesões orais, como tumores benignos de glândulas salivares e lesões reacionais, como o granuloma piogênico. O presente artigo objetiva relatar um caso raro de AL localizado em gengiva, em uma paciente de 19 anos. Clinicamente, a lesão apresentava-se como um tumor assintomático, oval, pedunculado, bem definido, com superfície lisa, consistência fibrosa e cor eritematosa, semelhante a um granuloma piogênico, Uma biópsia excisional foi realizada e o fragmento foi encaminhado para análise histopatológica, que revelou uma proliferação vascular de diversos calibres, contendo paredes musculares espessas e proliferação muscular adjacente, além de infiltrado inflamatório, predominantemente crônico, hemácias extravasadas e área de ulceração, consistente com o diagnóstico de AL inflamado. A histopatologia desempenha um papel importante no diagnóstico final de lesões raras e com características clínicas inespecíficas. A excisão cirúrgica da lesão é o tratamento de escolha mais eficaz para os ALs orais. (AU)

Angioleiomyoma (AL) is a benign tumor of smooth muscle of perivascular origin that is rarely seen in the oral cavity, mainly in locations like the gingiva. Due to their nonspecific clinical presentation, ALs can mimic other oral lesions, such as benign salivary gland tumors and reactional lesions, as a pyogenic granuloma. We reported a case of an AL located in the gingiva in a 19-year-old female patient. In clinical terms, the lesion was presented as an asymptomatic, oval, pedunculated, well-defined nodule with a smooth surface, fibrous consistency and erythematous color, similar to a pyogenic granuloma. An excisional biopsy was performed and the fragment was sent for histopathological analysis that revealed a vascular proliferation of different calibers, containing thick muscle walls and adjacent muscle proliferation, in addition to an inflammatory infiltrate, predominantly chronic, extravasated red blood cells and an area of ulceration, consistent with the diagnosis of inflamed AL. The histopathology plays an important role in the final diagnosis of rare lesions and with nonspecific clinical characteristics. The surgical excision of the lesion is the most effective treatment of choice for oral ALs. (AU)

Hemangioma capilar lobular: granuloma piógeno en lengua / Lobular capillary hemangioma: pyogenic granuloma of tongue

El granuloma piógeno es una lesión benigna, reactiva y multifactorial que resulta de le- siones repetitivas, microtraumatismos e irritación local en piel o mucosas y cambio hormonal. Cuando aparece en la cavidad oral tiene predilección por la encía vestibular, pero es importante que el odontólogo esté consciente y familiarizado con el hecho de que puede estar localizado en otras áreas anatómicas. Clínicamente se presenta como lesión hiperplásica altamente vascularizada, de tamaño generalmente no mayor a 2 cm, pediculada en la base o sésil y de lento crecimiento. Sin mostrar preferencia por edad o sexo, tiende a aparecer principalmente en encías, labios y mucosa oral, siendo muy pocos los casos reportados en el área lingual. Es por ello que, en este artículo, nos referimos a un caso de ubicación inusual, en conjunto con una revisión de la literatura (AU)

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign, reactive, and multifactorial lesion caused by repetitive injuries, microtrauma and local irritation on the skin or mucous membranes, and hormonal change. When it appears in the oral cavity, it has a predilection for the vestibular gingiva, but the dentist must be aware and familiar with the fact that it can be present in other anatomi- cal areas. Clinically, it is presented as a hyperplasic injury highly vascular-related, with a size generally no bigger than 2 cm, pedunculated in base or sessile, and slow in growth. Without showing any preference in age or gender, it tends to appear mainly on the gums, lips, and oral mucosae, with very few, reported cases in the lingual area. Therefore, in this study, we refer to a case of unusual localization with a literature review (AU)

Subungual squamous cell carcinoma of the great toe presenting as a pyogenic granuloma-like mass in a 64-year-old Filipino male: A case report

@#<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Subungual squamous cell carcinoma is rare, though it is the most common primary malignant neoplasm in the nail unit. Fingernails are more commonly involved than toenails with nonspecific and mild features. Histopathologic presentation may be difficult to distinguish from other tumors. With this, there is often a delay in diagnosis.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>CASE REPORT:</strong> A 64-year-old male presented with a subungual yellowish granulomatous plaque, eventual dystrophy, and persistent bleeding on the fi rst digit of the right foot of two years' duration. Initially diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma through skin punch biopsy, debridement with ungiectomy was done. Upon recurrence, he underwent wide excision with matricectomy, wherein deeper sections revealed features of basosquamous carcinoma. A positive Epithelial Membrane Antigen and negative BerEP4 staining later confirmed a diagnosis of SCC. Since bone involvement was repeatedly suspected in magnetic resonance imaging after postoperative radiotherapy, amputation was eventually done.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> We report a case of subungual SCC initially diagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma. Full-thickness biopsy should be done in persistent nail conditions using special stains to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical treatment or radiotherapy with or without systemic therapy is the first line of treatment for subungual SCC. In cases of bone involvement, amputation may be warranted.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>KEYWORDS:</strong> nail, pyogenic granuloma, squamous cell carcinoma, tumor</p>

Granuloma piógeno en el dorso lingual: caso clínico / Pyogenic granuloma in the lingual dorsum: a clinical case

El granuloma piógeno es una lesión benigna en la cavidad bucal, no neoplásica. Es una entidad fre- cuentemente asociada a la expansión de los tejidos blandos de la cavidad bucal. Se presenta, con mayor frecuencia, en individuos del género femenino, con edades comprendidas entre la segunda y cuarta década de vida. El tratamiento es mediante escisión quirúrgica con un pequeño margen de seguridad, y los agentes irritantes deben extraerse concomitan- temente para la curación de la lesión. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo informar un caso de granuloma piógeno en el dorso de la lengua en una paciente del género femenino de 69 años. Los autores destacaron la importancia del conocimiento de la patología bucal por parte del Cirujano Dentista para poder realizar un correcto diagnóstico diferencial de otras lesiones, con el fin de realizar el tratamiento adecuado (AU)

Pyogenic granuloma is a quite common non-neoplasic benign lesion in the oral cavity. It is one of the entities most frequently associated with the soft tissues' expansion of the oral cavity, specifically in females, in the age group between the second and the fourth decade of life. The treatment is by surgical excision with a small margin of safety. For the healing of the lesion irritants should be concomitantly removed. This study aimed to report a case of pyogenic granuloma on the lingual dorsum of a 69-year-old female patient. The authors concluded highlighting the importance of the knowledge of oral pathology by the Dental Surgeon, to perform a correct differential diagnosis of other lesions to perform the appropriate treatment (AU)

Debido a su extraña ubicación se decide documentar y compartir este caso clínico, en el cual se optó por el tratamiento convencional quirúrgico obteniendo una adecuada resolución...(AU)

Granuloma piógeno oral. Serie de casos / Oral pyogenic granuloma. Case series

RESUMEN El granuloma piógeno es una lesión que se manifiesta en la piel y en la cavidad oral, relacionado con diversas causas, como irritación crónica, trauma y cambios hormonales. Clínicamente se muestra como una lesión hiperplásica altamente vascularizada, con un tamaño de 1-3 cm, de base pedunculada o sésil y de crecimiento lento. Predomina en el sexo femenino y tiende a aparecer, sobre todo, en la encía, con muy pocos casos reportados en zonas edentes, motivo por el que se realizó el reporte de tres casos de granuloma piógeno oral en pacientes femeninas, comprendidas entre 30 y 40 años de edad. Se presentaron lesiones que diferían en cuanto a su localización y apariencia clínica (AU).

ABSTRACT Pyogenic granuloma is a lesion that arises in the skin and oral cavity, related to various causes, such as chronic irritation, trauma and hormonal changes. Clinically it looks like a highly vascularized hyperplastic lesion, sized 1-3 cm, with a pedunculated or sessile base and slow growing. It predominates in the female sex and tends to appear, above all, in the gum, with very few cases reported in edentulous areas; that is why the authors reported three cases of oral pyogenic granuloma in female patients, aged between 30 and 40 years. The lesions differed in their location and clinical appearance (AU).

El objetivo del presente estudio es reportar el caso de una paciente de 9 años de edad, que fue sometida a la exéresis de un granuloma piogénico oral en el hueso maxilar y al año siguiente presentó una recurrencia de la lesión con pérdida ósea alveolar y movilidad de un diente adyacente. Se le realizó una biopsia y un curetaje minucioso, confirmándose el diagnostico de granuloma piogénico oral.

Resumo O granuloma piogênico oral é uma lesão multifatorial benigna, caracterizada por apresentarse como um aumento gengival altamente vascularizado. Pode estar localizado em qualquer área da cavidade oral, mais frequentemente na gengiva marginal vestibular. Ocorre com maior incidência em mulheres adultas e em crianças do sexo masculino. Geralmente não compromete o tecido ósseo ou os dentes e seu tratamento mais seguro é a escisão cirúrgica, sendo alto o risco de recorrência. O objetivo do presente estudo é relatar o caso de uma paciente de 9 anos de idade, submetida a escisão de granuloma piogênico oral no maxilar e no ano seguinte apresentou uma recorrência da lesão com perda óssea alveolar e a mobilidade de umo de seus dentes adjacentes. Uma biópsia e uma curetagem completa foram realizadas, confirmando o diagnóstico de granuloma piogênico oral.

Abstract Oral pyogenic granuloma is a benign multifactorial lesion that appears as a highly vascular gingival enlargement. It can be located anywhere in the oral cavity, most often in the vestibular marginal gingiva. It occurs most frequently in adult women and male children. It does not usually compromise bone tissue or teeth; its safest treatment is surgical excision, with a high recurrence risk. This study aims to report the case of a 9-year-old female patient who underwent oral pyogenic granuloma excision in the maxilla. The following year, she presented a possible lesion recurrence with alveolar bone loss and the mobility of an adjacent tooth. A biopsy and thorough curettage were performed, confirming the diagnosis of oral pyogenic granuloma.

Doença periodontal como fator determinante para a recidiva do granuloma piogênico / Periodontal disease as a determining factor for piogenic granumola recurrence

O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever por meio de um caso clínico o diagnóstico e a conduta clínica no tratamento de um Granuloma Piogênico (GP) recidivante associado à doença periodontal. O GP é uma lesão inflamatória hiperplásica que se encontra nos tecidos moles da cavidade bucal e que possui um crescimento reagente estimulado por irritação local de baixa intensidade, fator hormonal ou trauma, podendo causar desconforto ao paciente e interferir na fala e mastigação. O GP acomete principalmente mulheres na segunda e terceira décadas de vida em regiões como gengiva, lábios, língua e mucosa bucal. O tratamento do GP consiste em excisão cirúrgica e o diagnóstico decisivo é realizado por meio de exame histopatológico. Paciente do gênero feminino, 57 anos, procurou atendimento no Centro Universitário da Serra Gaúcha ­ FSG por apresentar lesão rósea pediculada na região de papila incisiva com cerca de 2 cm de diâmetro. A paciente foi submetida a dois procedimentos cirúrgicos e em ambos ocorreu a recidiva. A completa excisão da lesão somente foi realizada após realização de tratamento periodontal e remoção de fatores irritantes como biofilme e cálculo dentário. Desta forma, foi possível concluir que é de suma importância a observação e remoção dos fatores irritantes durante o tratamento do GP e que desta maneira se diminuiu as chances de posterior recidiva(AU)

The present study aims to describe through a clinical case the diagnosis and clinical management treatment of a recurrent Piogenic Granuloma (GP) associated with periodontal disease. PG is a hyperplastic inflammatory lesion found in the soft tissues of the oral cavity and has a reactive growth stimulated by low intensity local irritation, hormonal factor or trauma, which may cause patient discomfort and interfere with speech and chewing. GP affects mainly women in the second and third decades of life in regions such as gums, lips, tongue and oral mucosa. The treatment of GP consists of surgical excision and the decisive diagnosis is made by histopathological examination. Female patient, 57 years old, attended the University Center of Serra Gaúcha - FSG presenting pediculated pink lesion in the incisive papilla region with about 2 cm in diameter. The patient underwent two surgical procedures and both relapsed. Complete excision of the lesion was only performed after periodontal treatment and removal of irritating factors such as biofilm and dental calculus. Thus, it was possible to conclude that the observation and removal of irritating factors during the treatment of GP is of paramount importance and thus reduced the chances of further relapse(AU)

Lobular capillary hemangioma in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis using adalimumab: an exuberant presentation

Abstract Lobular capillary hemangioma or pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor of the skin or mucous membranes. Most patients present a single lesion. It manifests clinically as an erythematous, friable, and fast-growing tumor. This report details a case with exuberant presentation in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis, using adalimumab. Factors triggering pyogenic granuloma are not well known. They may spontaneously regress, but most require treatment.

Incidence of reactive hyperplastic lesions in the oral cavity: a 10 year retrospective study in Santa Catarina, Brazil / Incidência de lesões hiperplásicas reativas na cavidade bucal: estudo retrospectivo de 10 anos em Santa Catarina, Brasil

Abstract Introduction Reactive hyperplastic lesions develop in response to a chronic injury simulating an exuberant tissue repair response. They represent some of the most common oral lesions including inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, oral pyogenic granuloma, giant cell fibroma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and peripheral giant cell lesions. Objective The incidence of those lesions was investigated in an oral pathology service, and the clinical characteristics, associated etiological factors, concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnostic was determined. Methods A total of 2400 patient records were screened from 2006 to 2016. Clinical features were recorded from biopsy reports and patients' files. Results A total of 534 cases of reactive hyperplastic lesions were retrieved and retrospectively studied, representing 22.25% of all diagnoses. The most frequent lesion was inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (72.09%), followed by oral pyogenic granuloma (11.79%), giant cell fibroma (7.30%), peripheral ossifying fibroma (5.24%), and peripheral giant cell lesions (3.55%). Females were predominantly affected (74.19%), the gingiva and alveolar ridge were the predominant anatomical site (32.89%), and chronic traumatism was presented as the main etiological factor. The age widely ranges from the 1st decade of life to the 7th. Clinically, the reactive hyperplastic lesions consisted of small lesions (0.5-2 cm) and shared a strong likeness in color to the oral mucosa. The concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnostic was high (82.5%). Conclusion Reactive hyperplastic lesions had a high incidence among oral pathologies. The understanding of their clinical features helps to achieve a clearer clinical and etiological diagnosis, and the knowledge of factors related to their development. This may contribute to adequate treatment and positive prognosis.

Resumo Introdução As lesões hiperplásicas reativas se desenvolvem em resposta a uma lesão crônica que estimula uma resposta acentuada de reparo tecidual. Elas representam uma das lesões orais mais comuns, inclusive hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória, granuloma piogênico oral, fibroma de células gigantes, fibroma periférico ossificante e lesão periférica de células gigantes. Objetivo A incidência dessas lesões foi investigada em um serviço de patologia bucal e as características clínicas, os fatores etiológicos associados e a concordância entre os diagnósticos clínico e histopatológico foram determinados. Método Foram selecionados 2.400 registros de pacientes entre 2006 e 2016. As características clínicas foram registradas a partir de laudos de biópsia e dos prontuários dos pacientes. Resultados Um total de 534 casos de lesões hiperplásicas reativas foram recuperados e retrospectivamente estudados, representando 22,25% de todos os diagnósticos. A lesão mais frequente foi hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória (72,09%), seguida por granuloma piogênico oral (11,79%), fibroma de células gigantes, (7,30%), fibroma periférico ossificante (5,24%) e lesão periférica de células gigantes (3,55%). O sexo feminino foi predominante (74,19%), a gengiva e a crista alveolar foram o local anatômico predominante (32,89%) e o traumatismo crônico foi demonstrado como o principal fator etiológico. A idade variou desde a 1ª década de vida até a 7ª. Clinicamente, as LHR consistiram em pequenas lesões (0,5 a 2 cm) que apresentaram uma forte semelhança de cor com a mucosa oral. A concordância entre o diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico foi alta (82,5%). Conclusão As lesões hiperplásicas reativas apresentaram alta incidência entre as patologias bucais. A compreensão das características clínicas ajuda na realização de um diagnóstico clínico e etiológico mais claro, bem como determinar os fatores relacionados ao seu desenvolvimento. Dessa forma contribui para um tratamento adequado e um prognóstico positivo.

Due to constant manipulation and recurrent erosions the lesion evolved to a tumor that protruded the nostril and obstructed the airway. The lesion was removed two months after delivery and the pathological diagnosis revealed a nasal lobular capillary hemangioma. Due to the rare presentation of this entity, we performed a literature review. (AU)

Prevalence and etiological factors of Piogenic Granuloma in gestants / Prevalência e fatores etiológicos do Granuloma Piogênico em gestantes

Introduction: Neglect with oral health and hygiene will be reflected in the accumulation of biofilm and possible formation of supra and / or subgingival calculus, one of the etiological factors of Piogenic granuloma (PG). Objective: To investigate the prevalence and etiological factors of pyogenic granuloma in pregnant women. Method: The study was carried out on 102 pregnant women attending prenatal care in Family Health Strategies. The oral examination of the gingival tissue of the maxilla and the mandible was performed to evaluate the presence of PG, according to Neville et al classification, gingival bleeding, poorly adapted restorations, supra gingival calculus and residual roots. The chi-square test (χ2) was used to investigate the degree of association between variables. Results: Prevalence of PG was 1.96% (n = 2) in the third semester of pregnancy. No pregnant woman had received information about the condition during prenatal care. Regarding the quality of bucaL hygiene, in 63 pregnant women it was considered unsatisfactory, with plaque visible and supragingival tartar in both arches and satisfactory in 39, with supragingival tartar in the lingual of the antero-inferiors and in the vestibular face of the upper molars associated to plaque visible on all teeth. The chi-square test demonstrated a greater need for scaling and corono-root straightening and removal of residual roots when associated with the pregnancy condition. Conclusions: The prevalence of pyogenic granuloma was 1.9% during the third trimester of gestation. As an etiological factor, the presence of too much dental calculus and visible plaque in both arches was found in 61.7% of the pregnant women. (AU)

Introdução: A negligência com saúde bucal e higiene se refletirá no acúmulo de biofilme e possível formação de cálculo supra e / ou subgengival, um dos fatores etiológicos do granuloma Piogênico (GP). Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência e os fatores etiológicos do granuloma piogênico em gestantes. Método: O estudo foi realizado em 102 gestantes que frequentavam o pré-natal nas Estratégias de Saúde da Família. O exame bucal do tecido gengival da maxila e da mandíbula foi realizado para avaliar a presença de GP, segundo a classificação de Neville e cols., Sangramento gengival, restaurações pouco adaptadas, cálculo supra gengival e raízes residuais. O teste do qui-quadrado (χ2) foi utilizado para investigar o grau de associação entre as variáveis. Resultados: A prevalência de GP foi de 1,96% (n = 2) no terceiro semestre de gestação. Nenhuma gestante havia recebido informações sobre a condição durante o pré-natal. Quanto à qualidade da higiene bucal, em 63 gestantes foi considerada insatisfatória, com placa visível e tegumentar supragengival em ambas as arcadas e satisfatória em 39, com tártaro supragengival na língua dos anterossuprimários e na face vestibular dos molares superiores associado à placa visível em todos os dentes. O teste do qui-quadrado demonstrou maior necessidade de descamação e alisamento corono-radicular e remoção de raízes residuais quando associado à condição de gravidez. Conclusões: A prevalência de granuloma piogênico foi de 1,9% durante o terceiro trimestre de gestação. Como fator etiológico, a presença de cálculo dentário em excesso e placa visível em ambos os arcos foi encontrada em 61,7% das gestantes.(AU)

Methotrexate delayed wound healing of a pyogenic granuloma in a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis / Metotrexato atrasou a cicatrização de um granuloma piogênico em criança com artrite idiopática juvenil

A nine-year-old girl with of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in use of methotrexate complained of a self-bleeding ulcerated lesion exhibiting a red surface in the lower lip. Pyogenic granuloma was confirmed by histopathological analysis. After the 7th and 15th days, the lip where biopsy had been done exhibited a deficient healing. The case was discussed with the physician for temporary suspension of methotrexate. Complete wound healing of the biopsied site occurred after temporary interruption of the medication. Wound healing after methotrexate temporary suspension allowed concluding that the drug delayed surgical wound healing was a consequence of drug cytotoxicity. (AU)

Uma menina de nove anos de idade com artrite idiopática juvenil (AIJ) em uso de metotrexato queixou-se de lesão ulcerada com sangramento espontâneo que exibia superfície avermelhada em lábio inferior. O granuloma piogênico foi confirmado pelo exame histopatológico. Após o 7º e 15º dias, a região do lábio onde a biópsia foi realizada exibiu cicatrização deficiente. O caso foi discutido com o médico e foi realizada a suspensão temporária do metotrexato que resultou em cicatrização completa. A cicatrização da ferida após a suspensão temporária do metotrexato permitiu concluir que o medicamento retardou a cicatrização da ferida cirúrgica como consequência da citotoxicidade da droga. (AU)

Profile evaluation of patients diagnosed with non-neoplastic proliferative lesions in a dentistry clinic

Non-neoplastic proliferative lesions (NNPLs) are alterations that affect oral mucosal tissues. The etiology of these lesions is associated with local irritant processes, principally inflammation, infections and mechanical irritants. NNPLs are classified into four groups: inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and peripheral giant cell lesion. Aim: This cross-sectional, quantitative, retrospective, analytical, informative and educational study aimed to evaluate the profiles of patients who were diagnosed with any non-neoplastic proliferative lesion in the Unimontes Stomatology Clinic, Brazil. Methods: From January 2001 to June 2012, 1505 patients were counted who underwent anatomopathological examination, in addition to evaluations for other conditions. Results: Of these 1505 patients, 223 were diagnosed with some type of non-neoplastic proliferative lesion, and statistical analysis showed that 76% were female and 24% male and that 23.3% were between 41 and 50 years of age. Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia was the most common NNPL (86.5%). Conclusion: Due to the high frequency of these lesions in the dental clinic, this type of survey has significant relevance for informing health professionals about these proliferative processes. This information is necessary, since the dentist is intimately involved in both the etiology, treatment and prevention of these lesions

Inflammatory and reactive lesions of the orofacial region in an African tertiary health setting

Background: Chronic inflammatory and reactive lesions are tumor­like hyperplasia that are produced in association with chronic local irritation or trauma. These proliferations are painless pedunculated or sessile masses in different colors, from light pink to red. The surface appearance is variable from nonulcerated smooth to ulcerated growth, and they from a few millimeters to several centimeters in size. Common examples in the oral cavity include pyogenic granuloma (PG), epulis, traditional clinical name for gingival reactive proliferations, Irritation fibroma, epulis fissuratum, and giant cell granulomas which could either be of peripheral or central origin.Objective: To describe the pattern of inflammatory and reactive lesions of orofacial region. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of patients attending the oral and maxillofacial clinic between January 2006 and December 2014 was undertaken. Results: One hundred and twelve patients, comprising 61 (54.5%) males and 51 (45.5%) females were seen over the period of study. Their age ranged from 1 to 80 years with a median age of 26.5 years. PG was the most frequently reported lesion accounting for 32 (28.6%). This was followed by nonspecific chronic inflammation (n = 23; 20.5%), epulis/peripheral giant cell granuloma (n = 13; 11.6%), granulation tissue (n = 10; 8.9%), and central giant cell granuloma, (n = 8; 7.1%). Conclusion: The results of the study show that inflammatory and reactive lesions are common in the study population

Capillary hemangioma of the gingiva in an adult: a rare case report

Objective: We report a case of a 40-year-old female with gingival overgrowth in the right maxillary anterior region which has been excised at a peripheral hospital that caused displacement, mobility of associated teeth and lip incompetency. Case description: A case of recurrent gingival overgrowth in the right maxillary anterior region in a 40-year-old female with associated teeth displacement and mobility and lip incompetency. There was a radiologic evidence of bone loss. Excisional biopsy was carried out and the histologic diagnosis was Capillary Hemangioma. Conclusion: Capillary Hemangioma should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in cases of gingival overgrowth ofmaxillary anterior region, which mimics pyogenic granuloma

A Case of Pyogenic Granuloma in Larynx

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the benign vascular neoplasm. The nomenclature is misnomer because pyogenic granuloma is not related to infection and granuloma. It represent histopathologically lobular capillary hemangioma. It is most commonly occurred on skin followed by oral cavity such as gingiva, lip, tongue and buccal mucosa. Herein, we report a extremely rare case of pyogenic granuloma which was developed on larynx of a 81 year-old male with review of literature.

A Case of Intravenous Pyogenic Granuloma Originating in the External Jugular Vein / 대한이비인후과학회지

Intravenous pyogenic granuloma (IVPG), also known as intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma, is an extremely rare form of vascular tumor which derives from the lumen of a vein of the head and neck and upper extremities. The treatment of choice is complete local excision of a small portion of the vein. Since first report in 1979, IVPG has been reported in no more than 60 reports abroad. To our knowledge, IVPG originating in the external jugular vein has never been reported in Korea but has important clinical implication. Accurate preoperative diagnosis of neck mass originating in jugular vein is important to plan operative procedures to avoid vascular injury, excessive bleeding, or incomplete excision. Preoperative radiologic examinations such as ultrasonography, computed tomography are useful as first-line diagnostic tools for differential diagnosis of movable neck mass. With a review of literature, the author reports a case of IVPG arising from the left external jugular vein in a 31-year-old male who complained about a palpable neck mass. This patient was successfully managed by ligation and excision of the vein without any complication and no recurrence was found after 6 months.
