Pyogenic granuloma of the larynx

Abstract

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.

A successful treatment with oral beta-blocker: A case report of a recurrent pyogenic granuloma in the external auditory canal

“… 1 PG occurs rarely in EAC, larynx, and urethra. 1 , 3 – 5 It happens commonly in the second decade of life, and many factors like infections, pregnancy, and hormonal influences can predispose to PG development. 1 , 2 Medication such as retinoids, antiretrovirals, and antineoplastic drugs are other accused factors.…”

“…PG is a benign vascular tumor that appears as a solitary and smooth nodule in the skin and mucosal surface of the head and neck, especially in the oral and nasal mucous membranes. 1 , 2 The most common sites of PG in the oral cavity include gingiva (83%), lip (5.3%), tongue (5.3%), palate (4.5%), and buccal mucosa (0.8%). 1 PG occurs rarely in EAC, larynx, and urethra.…”

“…Pyogenic granuloma (PG), also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular tumor arising from the skin and mucosal surface of the oral and nasal cavities. 1 The lesions appear as solitary, well circumscribed, smooth, erythematous nodules that bleed easily. 2 The cause of PG is uncertain, but it may be related to trauma, infections, and hormonal influences.…”

“… 2 The cause of PG is uncertain, but it may be related to trauma, infections, and hormonal influences. 1 , 2 It can be treated with surgical excision, electrocautery, cryotherapy, silver nitrate cautery, and beta-blockers. 2 – 4 Here, we report a rare case of recurrent PG arising from the external auditory canal (EAC).…”
