Résumé
Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH; also referred to as pyogenic granuloma) is a common benign vascular tumor that is characterized by proliferation of capillaries with a lobular architecture. Lobular capillary hemangioma can involve superficial cutaneous, mucosal, or subcutaneous structures; the subcutaneous and intravascular variant is very rare. A 26-year-old female patient presented with a small infraorbital mass that was slowly growing within the last 6 months. She reported no pain but an uncomfortable feeling of pressure in this area. Six months before symptom onset, the patient had undergone a closed rhinoplasty with osteotomies without any reported complication. An excisional biopsy was performed via a transconjunctival approach, and the histopathological findings were characteristic for a subcutaneous intravascular LCH. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic with no evidence of a recurrent lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a subcutaneous intravascular LCH after rhinoplasty. We would like to draw the attention of stakeholders to this rare condition and raise awareness among clinicians to what seems to be a late finding after rhinosurgery.

BACKGROUND
Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH; also referred to as pyogenic granuloma) is a common benign vascular tumor that is characterized by proliferation of capillaries with a lobular architecture. Lobular capillary hemangioma can involve superficial cutaneous, mucosal, or subcutaneous structures; the subcutaneous and intravascular variant is very rare.
METHODS
A 26-year-old female patient presented with a small infraorbital mass that was slowly growing within the last 6 months. She reported no pain but an uncomfortable feeling of pressure in this area. Six months before symptom onset, the patient had undergone a closed rhinoplasty with osteotomies without any reported complication.
RESULTS
An excisional biopsy was performed via a transconjunctival approach, and the histopathological findings were characteristic for a subcutaneous intravascular LCH. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic with no evidence of a recurrent lesion.
CONCLUSION
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a subcutaneous intravascular LCH after rhinoplasty. We would like to draw the attention of stakeholders to this rare condition and raise awareness among clinicians to what seems to be a late finding after rhinosurgery.
