The eyebrow surprise: A rare giant lobular capillary haemangioma following trivial trauma in a child

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

Background: Lobular capillary haemangioma, commonly known as pyogenic granuloma, is a benign but rapidly growing vascular tumour with a high tendency to bleed. Although frequently seen in the paediatric head and neck region, eyebrow involvement, especially of giant proportions, is extremely rare. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 7-year-old boy who developed a 4 cm × 2.5 cm ulceroproliferative lesion over the lateral left eyebrow 2 weeks following trivial trauma. The initial laceration was sutured at a peripheral health centre, after which a rapidly enlarging mass developed over 2 weeks. Surgical excision with primary closure was performed. Histopathology confirmed lobular capillary haemangioma. Conclusion: This case is unique due to its rare eyebrow location, large size, and post-traumatic onset, underscoring the need to consider lobular capillary haemangioma in the differential diagnosis of rapidly growing facial masses in children.
