| Abstract: | A case of lobular capillary hemangioma In the lower portion of the eosphagus in a 49-year-old woman was investigated. Lobular capillary hemangioma of the esophagus must be a rare lesion. We have been unable to find s single case in the literature. The excised lesion consisted macroscopically of a single strip of red tissue ulcerated and covered with a white exudate, 7 mm in length, with an attached vascular pedunculated lesion no more than 4 mm in diameter. Microscopically, the pedunculated lesion had the features of a capillary hemangioma with a circumscribed aggregate of capillaries arranged In one or more lobules. Similar cases from the oral and nasal mucous membranes were recorded In 1980 by M ills et al .13. |
