Subglottic Lobular Capillary Hemangioma: A Case Report - Abstract
Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a benign proliferation of capillary blood
vessels adopting a lobular configuration. A laryngeal origin of LCH is exceedingly
rare. Here, we describe a case of an 11-year-old boy presenting with a subglottic
lesion, leading to a subglottic stenosis. Histopathologic findings of the lesion implicated
an LCH, which was removed successfully by a coblator. This is the first report of a
subglottic LCH. Physicians should be aware of this unique lesion and laryngeal LCH
should be considered in diagnosing the cause of a subglottic stenosis. Additionally,
coblation should be an effective treatment for laryngeal LCH.
