Abstract
- Papillary hemangioma (PH) is a recently described vascular tumor with a predilection for the skin of the head and neck. Histopathologically, it is characterized by a bland endothelial proliferation arranged in a papillary configuration, bearing resemblance to glomeruloid hemangioma seen in the context of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, skin changes syndrome. The largest cutaneous PH reported to date measured 1.5 cm in greatest dimension. Here, we report a case of PH with an alarming size of 10 cm. We present this case to add to the limited literature on this rare tumor, highlight the histopathologic differences between PH and its mimics, and emphasize the variable nature of PH tumor size.
