Pre-operative effects of the administration of systemic corticosteroids combined with antibiotics on a lobular capillary hemangioma in the nasal cavity

Abstract Lobular capillary hemangiomas (LCHs), also known as pyogenic granulomas, are benign, rapidly growing hemorrhagic lesions that usually develop in the oral or nasal cavities. In adults, LCHs occur in 1 year after surgery). Pre-operative treatment with systemic corticosteroids combined with antibiotics may be useful to induce tumor regression and to excise the lesion completely with an endoscopic approach.
