Currently, there are two kinds of inhibitors: Anti-PD-1 antibodies and anti-PD-L1 antibodies. These inhibitors have shown significant implications in improving the outcomes of certain cancer types in recent years.However, along with its effectiveness, adverse events cannot be ignored. As an anti-PD-1 antibody, camrelizumab(SHR-1210) has some side effects in tumor immunotherapy. The most common adverse event is reactive capillary hemangioma. While it is widely reported to occur in the skin, gingival reactive capillary hemangioma is rarely reported.CASE SUMMARY A 54-year-old man complained of gingival overgrowth on the anterior aspect of the maxilla and mandible for more than 6 mo. He had been placed on SHR-1210 for lung cancer for 7 mo. A gingival mass extending from canine to canine was noted on the lingual surfaces of the mandible. Gingival enlargement was noted in the front teeth. A clinical diagnosis of gingival reactive capillary hemangioma and chronic periodontitis was made. The treatment involved a complex local treatment(repeated local applications of an antibiotic paste, scaling and root planning, and surgery). The excised tissue was sent for histopathological examination, which confirmed the diagnosis of capillary hemangioma. After the operation, most of the gingival enlargement was reduced. At the 2-mo follow-up,it was noted that the gingival overgrowth was immediately reduced after the replacement of the anti-PD-1 agent with an anti-PD-L1 agent.CONCLUSION As the prescription for SHR-1210 has increased considerably in recent years, the occurrence of its possible side effects, including gingival reactive capillary hemangioma, has increased. It is recommended that regular oral examinations be performed before and during the treatment of tumors with SHR-1210.展开更多

This vascular lesion usually presents on the skin or mucous membranes, and predominantly affects children. METHODS: LCH as a large asymptomatic hepatic mass was seen in a 35-year-old female. Imaging and pathologic characteristics of the mass are reviewed, and the relevant literature is also reviewed. RESULTS: A large vascular hepatic lesion was observed in an asymptomatic 35-year-old female. Pathologic examination after surgical resection revealed typical features of LCH. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first case of lobular capillary hemangioma seen as a liver lesion in an adult. Large vascular hepatic lesions pose significant difficulties in discerning benign from potentially malignant conditions. In this report we describe the pitfalls and radiological uncertainties with interpreting vascular lesions of the liver. (Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2009; 8: 323-325)展开更多

It commonly affects the face, eyelids, lips and skin. Adult capillary hemangioma involving the nasal cavity is rare and may be misdiagnosed as polyps or another tumor. This case report illustrated a middle-age adult patient in Malaysia who presents with unilateral nasal obstruction and intermittent epistaxis who later confirmed capillary hemangioma involving the right nasal septum. Endoscopic surgery excision of the hemangioma was successfully performed. There were no known risk factors present in him. A treating doctor in the outpatient clinic seeing symptoms such as unilateral nasal obstruction must consider alternative diagnosis such as hemangioma besides usual diagnosis of polyps.展开更多

The present report describes a case of duodenal hemangioma that showed various endoscopic changes over time and was treated by endoscopic mucosal resection. An 80-year-old woman presented with tarry stools and a loss of appetite. An examination of her blood revealed severe anemia, and her hemoglobin level was 4.2 g/dL. An emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed. A red, protrusive, semipedunculated tumor (approximately 20 mm in diameter) with spontaneous bleeding on its surface was found in the superior duodenal angle. Given the semipedunculated appearance of the tumor, it was suspected to be an epithelial tumor with a differential diagnosis of hyperplastic polyp. The biopsy results suggested a telangiectatic hemangioma. Because this lesion was considered to be responsible for her anemia, endoscopic mucosal resection was performed for diagnostic and treatment purposes after informed consent was obtained. A histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed dilated and proliferated capillary lumens of various sizes, which confirmed the final diagnosis of duodenal hemangioma. Neither anemia nor tumor recurrence has been observed since the endoscopic mucosal resection (approximately 1 year). Duodenal hemangiomas can be treated endoscopically provided that sufficient consideration is given to all of the possible treatment strategies. Interestingly, duodenal hemangiomas show morphological changes that are influenced by various factors, such as mechanical stimuli.展开更多

Diverse causes include congenital heart diseases, vasculitis, infections, neoplasm, complications in connective tissue diseases, pulmonary artery hypertension, Hughes-Stovin syndrome, and trauma, among which, vasculitis in Behcet＇s disease is the most common cause. Mortality from this rare condition is high due to the tendency to rupture and limitations in available treatment.展开更多

Rarely,it may occur in the neuraxis,and spinal capillary hemangioma(SCH) is a rare variant of it. Existing literature on SCH is limited because of its rarity. As a result,epidemiological and clinical characteristics as well as management strategy for SCH are still lacking. Here,we present a report on five patients with pathologically proven SCH,treated in Beijing Tiantan Hospital between 2013 and 2015.Methods: Patients' age,gender,clinical manifestations,radiological features,operative methods,and surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed,and an updated review of the literature was also provided. Results: Four patients were men and one was a woman,with a median age at presentation of 43 years(range: 15–66 years). Two lesions were intramedullary,two epidural,and one intradural extramedullary. The thoracic segment was most commonly affected(n = 3,60%),followed by the cervical(n = 1,20%) and lumbar(n = 1,20%) segments. Common symptoms,in descending order,were numbness and paresthesia,limb weakness,and pain. The surgical procedure was successfully performed with total resection of the tumor achieved in 4 patients and subtotal in 1 patient. During an average follow-up period of 32 months(range: 27–43 months),recovery of the clinical symptoms was observed in all five patients. Conclusions: SCH is a rare benign vascular disease,for which surgical resection of the lesion,by the en bloc method,is recommended. Clinically,it usually manifests with progressive myelopathy,but early surgical intervention usually produces good results and may prevent permanent neurological deficits.展开更多
