Lobular capillary hemangioma, also known as pyogenic granuloma,[1] a benign head and neck lesion that can mimic malignancy.
On occasion it is referred to as pregnancy tumour.
General
- Seen in children, young adults, pregnant women.
Clinical:
- May grow quickly - clinically suspicious for a malignancy.
Note:
- Pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer:
- Not pyogenic, i.e. infectious.
- Not granulomatous.
- The WMSP advocates the name lobular capillary hemangioma.[2]
Gross
Features:[3]
- Erythematous.
- Hemorrhagic.
Usually location:[2]
- Lips.
- Tongue.
- Gingiva.
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Polypoid or peduculated.
- Vascular, i.e. many blood vessels, with plump endothelium.
- Usu. thinned epithelium[5] or ulcerated.[2]
- Lobular arrangement of vascular (seen at low power).[6]
DDx:
- Capillary hemangioma.
- Myopericytoma (???).
- Bacillary angiomatosis.[7]
- Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia - abundant eosinophils.
Why it is not...
- Glomus tumour - cookie cutter arrangement of cells.

IHC
Features - positive for vascular markers:[2]
- CD34 +ve.
- CD31 +ve.
- Factor VIII +ve.
- SMA +ve -- marks pericytes.[citation needed]
A panel:
- CD31, SMA, HMB-45.
Sign out
Tongue Lesion, Excision: - Lobular capillary hemangioma (pyogenic granuloma).
Block letters
TONGUE, LEFT LATERAL, BIOPSY: - LOBULAR CAPILLARY HEMANGIOMA (PYOGENIC GRANULOMA).
LESION, POSTERIOR TO LEFT EAR, EXCISION: - LOBULAR CAPILLARY HEMANGIOMA (PYOGENIC GRANULOMA). COMMENT: The lesion stains as follows: POSITIVE: SMA, CD31. NEGATIVE: S-100, HMB-45.
Micro
The sections shows a pendunculated vascular lesion with small capillaries arranged in a lobular fashion. The endothelial cells of the lesion show no atypia. The overlying acanthotic epidermis has hyperkeratosis and hypergranulosis, and is focally ulcerated and impetiginized. There is no significant keratocyte atypia. No melanocytic nests are seen. The dermis has a mild perivascular lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. The lesion is excised in the plane of section.
Alternate - tongue
The sections shows a pendunculated vascular lesion with small capillaries arranged in a lobular fashion. The endothelial cells of the lesion show no significant atypia. The overlying epithelium is largely eroded. There is no significant keratocyte atypia. The lesion is excised in the plane of section.
