Capillary hemangiomas are hamartomatous proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, usually presenting in infancy or are age-related (senile). These tend to affect the head and neck regions.

After excision under local anesthesia, histological analysis showed the growth to be a lobular capillary hemangioma. At 5-month follow-up the patient had no scarring and there had been no recurrence.
