Intravascular lobular capillary haemangioma of the external jugular vein

Abstract

A case of non‐thrombotic intravascular pathology of the external jugular vein. The patient presented with a 5‐week history of a pain‐less lump on the right side of the neck. There was no history of trauma or associated signs or symptoms. Ultrasound imaging showed an intravenous mass that was excised and histopathologically diagnosed as an intravascular lobular capillary haemangioma (IVLCH). The rare tumour most commonly effects the neck, face, and upper extremities. Ultrasound is often the first‐line imaging in such cases, and IVLCH should be considered in the differential under specific circumstances.
