Pyogenic granulomas are benign, typically painless, vascular tumors of the skin and mucosal surface. Recently the term ‘lobular capillary hemangioma’ has been introduced to describe the histological appearance more accurately. Major locations for pyogenic granuloma are in the head and neck region, but larynx localization is rare. In this case report, we present a case of a 36-year-old male with lobular capillary hemangioma of the larynx and discuss the related literature.
Inverted papilloma (IP) is a rare benign tumor that originates from nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa. Although it is considered a benign lesion, it is locally aggressive and has risk between 7 and 15% for malignant transformation. The management of frontal sinus (FS) IP is still challenging due to its rarity and local invasiveness. We report a rare case of IP originating from FS, and to review the literature to delineate the possible surgical strategy. A 52-year-old male presented with long-standing history of bilateral nasal obstruction and left eye proptosis. Sinus navigation computed tomography showed soft tissue density occupying frontal, ethmoid, right sphenoid sinuses with extension to nasal cavities, postnasal space and left orbital space plus erosive bony changes. Transnasal endoscopic biopsy suggested IP the lesion was completely resected by Draf III procedure. After 1 month of the surgery, the patient is doing well with no complaints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
