“…Although the cause of pyogenic granuloma is not known, but in these two cases, thermal injury with bad management of the burn could be the possible factors in causation 9,10 . Most reported cases suggest that pyogenic granulomas grow to a maximum of 2 cm.…”

“…[ 21 ] The other patients had an intradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma at T11 after an injury to the lumbar spine. [ 2 ] The pathogenesis of the formation of these hemangiomas after trauma may be due to the release of angiogenic growth factors by the inflammatory cells which result in increased vascularity,[ 5 ] or it may be due to the chronic repetitive irritation due to microinstability of the posterior elements after trauma.

Background: Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions commonly seen in subcutaneous tissues. The most common site of origin is from the vertebral body, and only a few cases of isolated lesions in thoracic epidural space, especially after trauma, have been reported in the literature. Case Description: We report a case of 63-year-old male with progressive bilateral lower limb weakness and exaggerated lower limb deep tendon reflexes without bowel and bladder involvement. His history revealed T7 fracture with paraparesis which was treated surgically, and implants were removed a year later. MRI showed an epidural lesion from T6-T8 extending into the right T7-8 foramen which showed hypointensity on T1, hyperintensity on T2, and homogenous enhancement in contrast images with severe cord compression. Laminectomy was done and the lesion was removed en bloc. Histopathological examination revealed it to be capillary hemangioma. The neurology came back to normal after 3 months. Conclusion: Although capillary hemangiomas are rare lesions, it has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of epidural space-occupying lesions which require early surgical removal to prevent a progressive and permanent neurological deficit.

“…1,6,7 This is thought to be due to a localised increase in vascularity as a result of angiogenic factors released by inflammatory cells within the wound. 8 Chronic trauma has also been implicated as it may cause induction of capillary haemangioma growth by repetitive mechanical irritation that stimulates blood flow into pre-existing lesions. 9 Similar to the superficially based pyogenic granuloma, the capillary haemangioma in the present case occurred following trauma.…”
