    Author: Shi C, Ren Y, Feng J, Guo W, Zheng X.
    Journal: BMC Pediatr; 2021 Oct 11; 21(1):448. PubMed ID: 34629066.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Granulomatous capillary haemangioma refers to a benign vascular tumour that commonly affects the skin, with occasional involvement of the mucosa. Reports of conjunctival granulomatous capillary haemangioma in children are uncommon. In this article, we present a case of granulomatous capillary haemangioma and a brief review of the relevant literature. CASE PRESENTATION: An 11-year-old girl presented with a conjunctival mass. An excision of the entire lesion was performed. Histopathology showed a granulomatous capillary haemangioma. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical manifestations of granulomatous capillary haemangioma lack specificity; pathological characteristics and immunohistochemistry are the main basis for diagnosis. We retrospectively analysed the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with conjunctival granulomatous capillary haemangioma to deepen the understanding and facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
