Intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma occurring in the cephalic vein of a 39‐year‐old adult

Abstract

Intravenous lobular capillary hemangiomas are extremely uncommon and mostly occur in the veins of the neck and upper extremities. Here, we report the clinical and sonographic features of an intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma localized in the right cephalic vein, and we discuss its pathologic findings and differential diagnoses.

Intravenous lobular capillary haemangioma (pyogenic granuloma): A case report and a review of imaging findings as reported in the literature

“…The literature search identified 55 papers, which were all reviewed. Thirty‐eight of these were relevant . It has been generally accepted that the paper by Cooper et al ., describing a series of 18 cases, was the first description of the lesion, but review of the earlier case report by Meyers suggests that he was the first to identify the pathology.…”

“…Intravenous lobular capillary haemangioma (IVLCH), commonly known as intravenous pyogenic granuloma, is a rare benign lesion of veins, usually in the head and neck regions or upper limbs. Average age at presentation is 41 years with a reported age range of 12 to 79 years …”
