Unusual Presentation of Lobular Capillary Hemangioma on the Eyelid (A Case Report)

A lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor which most commonly occurs during childhood. We present the case of a 12-year-old male with acquired lobular capillary hemangioma of the left upper eyelid treated with surgical intervention. This patient developed no other lesions at the time of presentation. This case is being reported to call attention to the common occurrence in children as well as to discuss the different diagnostic and therapeutic modalities that can be used in the management of such cases. Although some cases resolve spontaneously, other cases may require intervention for cosmetic reasons or to prevent serious complications such as amblyopia and bleeding.
