Abstract

Lobular Capillaries Hemangiomas (LCH) are benign vascular lesions of the skin and mucosal membranes that are common in the head and neck region. Although the etiology is not completely known, factors such as trauma, smoking and abuse of voice are thought to play a role in the emergence of this disease. The localization of these lesions in the vocal cord is rare, which is common in the oral cavity. In this case report, we presented an adult patient with localized LCH in the right vocal cord and discussed the literature (Pubmed, Google Academic, Dergipark) that can be reached between 2003-2017 on LCH.
