Intranodal Capillary-Cavernous Hemangioma- An Uncommon Histopathological Lesion

Abstract

A 35 year female presented with gradually increasing swelling in inguinal region of 8 years which was painful during menses. On systemic examination no significant disease was noted. On local examination right inguinal region showed soft tissue nodular mass measuring 3x1.5x1cm.On ultrasonography showed soft tissue nodule suggestive of vascular lesion. Minimal pericapsulitis was noted .No abscess or necrosis was noted. Lesion was surgically excised and sent for histopathology. Grossly received single oval lymph node measuring 2.5x2x1 cm. Cut section was dark grey brown with areas of hemorrhages. On histopathology diagnosed as Capillary Cavernous Hemangioma of right inguinal lymph node. We are presenting this case for its extreme rarity, its clinical, radiological, histopathological presentation. Recognizing these vascular lesion entities in lymph node is essential to for diagnosis and to guide therapy. Key words: Intranodal tumor, Inguinal lymphadenopathy, Nodal hemangioma.

Adult-Onset Subungual Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma on Right Great Toe: A Case Report

“…Unlike the previous cases, it did not cause nail deformity or destruction and initially was misinterpreted as some other subungual tender nodule. The differential diagnosis of a subungual nodule includes benign solid tumors such as glomus tumor, lobular capillary hemangioma, angiokeratoma, angiomyomatous hamartoma nevus, and malignant tumors 7 8 . Herein, to the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of subungual adult-onset EAH without nail deformity.…”
