Unusual Cause of Pediatric Vaginal Bleeding: Infantile Capillary Hemangioma of the Cervix.
Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology 2018 August 12
BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis for pediatric prepubertal vaginal bleeding is wide. Rare etiologies include vascular malformations and tumors, such as infantile hemangiomas (IH), which validate the usefulness of exam under anesthesia, vaginoscopy, and tissue diagnosis.
CASE: We report a case of an infantile hemangioma in a 6 year-old girl causing vaginal bleeding requiring transfusion. Vaginoscopy revealed a less than 1 cm cervical IH. Expectant management and oral propranolol were successful management options.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Rare, even small soft tissue tumors such as IH can lead to impressive blood loss via vaginal bleeding. Accurate tissue diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are essential to planning safe, effective treatment and follow up.
