Intranodal Capillary-Cavernous Hemangioma- An Uncommon Histopathological Lesion

A 35 year female presented with gradually increasing swelling in inguinal region of 8 years which was painful during menses. On systemic examination no significant disease was noted. On local examination right inguinal region showed soft tissue nodular mass measuring 3x1.5x1cm.On ultrasonography showed soft tissue nodule suggestive of vascular lesion. Minimal pericapsulitis was noted .No abscess or necrosis was noted. Lesion was surgically excised and sent for histopathology. Grossly received single oval lymph node measuring 2.5x2x1 cm. Cut section was dark grey brown with areas of hemorrhages. On histopathology diagnosed as Capillary Cavernous Hemangioma of right inguinal lymph node. We are presenting this case for its extreme rarity, its clinical, radiological, histopathological presentation. Recognizing these vascular lesion entities in lymph node is essential to for diagnosis and to guide therapy. Key words: Intranodal tumor, Inguinal lymphadenopathy, Nodal hemangioma.
