Capillary Hemangioma in the Hallux: Case Report
Abstract
Introduction: Hemangiomas are benign neoplasms originating from endothelial cells and may rarely be malignant. The most common symptom is pain, due to the compression of a nerve or nerve trunk by the hemangioma. We present the case of a patient with this type of tumor in an infrequent location. The patient was a 35-year-old female with a painful, brown-colored and friable tumor in the distal region of the hallux which had increased in size in the last months before treatment. Complete surgical resection of the tumor was performed, with a histopathological diagnosis of capillary hemangioma. No recurrence was observed during the 36-month follow-up. Conclusion: We recommend a complete resection of these neoplasms and their posterior histopathologyanalysis.Level of Evidence: IVDownloads
