Atypical Presentation of Capillary Hemangioma of Upper Eyelid: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Capillary hemangioma is a benign vascular tumour composed of proliferating endothelial cells within fibrous tissue. Other names for this tumour include “benign hemangioendothelioma” and “strawberry nevus.” It is the most common tumour of infancy, occurring in 1 to 2 per cent of infants with a female predilection. Capillary hemangioma is a hamartomatous localized proliferation of vascular tissue in a normal location. They manifest by 18 months of age. Most hemangiomas regress spontaneously by age of seven years. We reported a female child of 7 years with gradually increasing mass over upper eyelid since 3 months that was found to be capillary haemangioma on histopathological examination. Atypical late presentation of capillary hemangioma of right upper eyelid is presented in which meticulous surgical excision provided excellent results. Recurrence after surgical excision can occur in capillary hemangiomas. Steroids, laser and radiotherapy are some other treatment options.
