8.8 Pyogenic Granuloma (Lobular Capillary Hemangioma)
8.8.1 Defi nition, Epidemiology, Pattern of Growth
First reported in the nineteenth century by Poncet and Dor (1897) with the term of botryomycoma, pyo- genic granuloma is a benign, rapidly growing lesion, characterized by a lobular proliferation of capillaries (Mills et al. 1980), also known with several other names (i.e., telangiectatic granuloma, granuloma pe­dunculatum, infected granuloma). Even though the term “pyogenic granuloma” is the most commonly used, it does not address the true nature of the lesion, which is neither the result of a bacterial infection nor a true granuloma (El-Sayed and Al-Serhani
1997). In 1980, the synonym “lobular capillary heman-
gioma” was proposed as an adequate term to indi­cate a lesion which consists of capillaries arranged in lobules and separated by a loose connective tis­sue stroma, often infi ltrated by infl ammatory cells (Mills et al. 1980).
Lobular capillary hemangioma mainly affects
the female population, with a peak incidence in the third decade (range: 11–65 years) (Leyden and Master 1973; El-Sayed and Al-Serhani 1997). The lesion may involve skin and mucosa, most often
in the oral cavity, where the lips are more frequently affected (about 38% of patients). Sinonasal localiza­tion ranges from 7% to 29%, the anterior portion of the nasal septum and the turbinates being the most frequently involved areas (Jafek et al. 1977; Mills et al. 1980).
The pathogenesis of the lesion is still unclear. Nasal trauma and hormonal imbalances have been postulated as possible etiologic factors (Lance et al.
1992). The second hypothesis seems to play a role in a variant of lobular capillary hemangioma known as granuloma gravidarum, which usually appears on the gingival mucosa during pregnancy (Miller et al.
1999).
8.8.2 Treatment Guidelines
The ideal treatment for lobular capillary heman­gioma is radical surgery, which in most cases can be performed through a microendoscopic approach even in very extensive lesions. Other alternative treatments (i.e., electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, Nd:YAG laser) have been successfully employed (Mayer 1962; Leopard 1975; Powell et al. 1994). Routine use of preoperative microembolization, which was suggested to improve bleeding control in oral lesions (Forman and Goldberg 1990), does not seem routinely justifi ed for sinonasal localiza­tions.

8.8.3 Key Information to Be Provided by Imaging
Site, size, and vascularization of the lesion
8.8.4 Imaging Findings
Pyogenic granuloma has no distinctive imaging features. CT shows a soft tissue density mass with lobulated contours more commonly arising from the nasal septum (Simo et al. 1998) (Fig. 8.42). Sinus opacifi cation can be observed when the mass impairs
any of the mucus drainage pathways. Bony remodel­ing is usually observed, while bony destruction has been described in a single case (Lance et al. 1992).
On MR, pyogenic granuloma exhibits intermedi­ate to bright signal on T2 and hypointense signal on T1 sequences (Fig. 8.43). Relevant enhancement is observed after either Gd-based or iodine contrast administration (El-Sayed and Al-Serhani 1997). Angiography demonstrates the presence of several arteries converging into the lesion.
The differential diagnosis should be restricted to highly vascularized sinonasal masses: hemangioma, hemangiopericytoma, juvenile angiofi broma, para­ganglioma and vascularized metastases (kidney, thy-

roid, lung, breast). Unfortunately, among these, exclu­sively juvenile angiofi broma holds pathognomonic features (site of origin, presence of intralesional vas­cular fl ow voids, age, and male sex of patients). As a consequence, pyogenic granuloma can be suspected only by matching imaging fi ndings and clinical his­tory (female sex, age in the range 20–40 years, preg­nancy, site of origin of the lesion).
8.8.4.1 Diff erential Diagnosis with Cavernous Hemangioma
On CT, cavernous hemangioma may be very diffi cult to be suspected. Plain study can detect a unilateral hypodense mass, that may be associated with destruc­tion of the sinusal bony walls, showing poor to mild, non-homogeneous enhancement (Loh et al. 1994; Kim et al. 1995; Dufour et al. 2001). On MR, cavernous hemangioma usually shows intermediate T1 and hy­perintense T2 signal, prior to contrast administration (Fig. 8.44). The enhancement is remarkable. Signal voids corresponding to enlarged vessels may also be detected within the lesion. Angiography further de­fi nes the vascular supply to the mass. Preoperative embolization has been recommended to prevent un­controllable hemorrhage (Kilde et al. 2003).
The differential diagnosis includes capillary hem­angioma (pyogenic granuloma), hemangioendothe­lioma, angiosarcoma, and Kaposi’s sarcoma. Most
cavernous hemangiomas arise from the maxillary sinus (Kul kar ni et al. 1989), while capillary heman­gioma more frequently is seen at the nasal septum (Iwata et al. 2002; Kilde et al. 2003) and is charac- terized by a dense enhancement on both CT and MR. Furthermore, adjacent bony structures are usually remodeled rather than eroded (Dillon et al. 1991).
8.9 Unusual Benign Lesions
A large spectrum of unusual benign lesions taking origin from minor salivary glands (i.e., pleomorphic adenoma, monomorphic adenoma) (Compagno and Wo ng 1977; Cano Cuenca et al. 2000; London et al. 2002) and soft tissues (i.e., benign fi brous his­tiocytoma, hemangioma, infl ammatory myofi bro­blastic tumor, leiomyoma, myxoma, paraganglioma, schwannoma) (Gregor and Loftus-Coll 1994; Basak et al. 1998; Soysal et al. 2001; Bloom et al. 2001; Kilde et al. 2003; Cakmak et al. 2003; Ketabchi et al. 2003) has been reported in the sinonasal tract (Fig. 8.45).
The predominant symptom is unilateral nasal ob­struction, which is mostly related to the presence of a polypoid or sessile lesion of variable macroscopic appearance. When the lesion entirely fi lls the nasal cavity, determination of the site of origin can be very diffi cult even resorting to endoscopic examination.
Information provided by imaging rarely suggests the histologic diagnosis, but it is essential to discrim­inate between liquid vs. solid content of the lesion, to­gether with the degree of vascularization. Moreover, imaging may detect connection or extension to the anterior cranial fossa.
Apart from the very rare lesions extending intra­cranially (Nicolai et al. 1996), benign tumors are generally amenable with microendoscopic surgery.
Since most of the aforementioned lesions share the same epidemiologic, clinical and radiologic profi le, as well as the same treatment guidelines, only pleo­morphic adenoma, schwannoma, leiomyoma, and paraganglioma, which are more frequently observed in the sinonasal tract, will be discussed in detail.

1990; Prager et al. 1991; Liao and Chong 1993; Wakami et al. 1996; Golz et al. 1997; Jassar et al.
1999; Makeieff et al. 1999; Fa co n et al. 2002), pleo­morphic adenoma is the most common benign tu­mor of the sinonasal tract after osteoma and inverted papilloma. Histologically, the neoplasm displays a pleomorphic architecture, being made up of lumi-
nal-type ductal epithelial cells, myoepithelial cells and tissue of mucoid, myxoid, or chondroid appear­ance (Shanmugaratnam 1991). Most pleomorphic adenomas take origin from major salivary glands, whereas only about 10% affect minor salivary glands, more commonly of the hard and soft palate (Prager et al. 1991; Liao and Chong 1993). The tumor may

rarely occur in other sites such as the lacrimal gland, larynx, pharynx, sinonasal tract, and trachea. Data from two major reviews of patients with pleomor­phic adenoma of the sinonasal area (Compagno and Wo ng 1977; Wakami et al. 1996) clearly identify the nasal septum as the most frequently affected site, fol­lowed by the maxillary sinus. Pleomorphic adenoma usually affects patients in the fi fth decade of life, with a slight female predominance. At present, no one of the histogenetic hypotheses (i.e., misplaced embryo­genic ectodermal epithelial cells, residual of the vom­eronasal organ, fully developed salivary gland tissue) postulated to explain the origin of the lesion from the nasal septum is fully accepted (Stevenson 1932; Matthew et al. 1944; Evans and Cruickshank
1970). Strangely enough, fewer minor salivary glands are present in the septal submucosa than in other sinonasal anatomic areas (Wa l l a c e et al. 1990).
A recurrence rate of 10% after surgical treatment has been specifi cally reported for sinonasal localiza­tions by Compagno and Wo n g (1977). According to the authors, this low recurrence rate might be related to the histologic profi le of sinonasal pleomorphic adenoma, which presents more cells and less myxoid stroma than the major salivary gland counterpart. Distant metastases and malignant degeneration have been rarely observed (Freeman et al. 1990; Cho et al. 1995).
8.9.1.1 Imaging Findings
Sinonasal pleomorphic adenoma generally appears as a well-defi ned soft tissue mass, most commonly
arising from the nasal septum (Pisani et al. 1998) (Fig. 8.46). Bone destruction is unexpected, unless malignant transformation has occurred (Yi ota ki s et al. 2001b). Ossifi cation has been described in an isolated report (Lee et al. 1992).
As for lesions arising in more typical sites (such as the parotid gland), MR fi ndings consist of T2 hy­perintensity, low to intermediate T1 signal and non­homogeneous enhancement (Yio tak is et al. 2001b; Unlu et al. 2003).
Nonetheless, none of the above-mentioned fea­tures support a defi nitive diagnosis.
8.9.2 Schwannoma
According to the WHO classifi cation (Shanmu­garatnam 1991), schwannoma is a benign tumor
taking origin from Schwann cells. Even though this tumor has been in the past indicated with other synonyms such as neurilemmoma, neurinoma, neu­rolemmoma, neuroma, perineural fi broblastoma, peripheral fi bromatosis, peripheral glioma and schwannoglioma, schwannoma nowadays is univer­sally considered the most adequate term. From a macroscopic standpoint, schwannomas are well en­capsulated, gelatinous, or cystic lesions.
Schwannoma frequently occurs in the head and neck area (25%–45%), but only about 4% of the le­sions involve the sinonasal tract (Yo u n i s et al. 1991; Donnelly et al. 1992). In this region, the ethmoid complex is the more frequently affected site, followed by the maxillary sinus, nasal septum, and sphenoid

sinus (Berlucchi et al. 2000). Most cases occur be­tween the second and fi fth decade of life (range: 6– 78 years); there is no specifi c association with sex or race (Higo et al. 1993). Even though some schwanno­mas of the sinonasal tract are associated with Von Recklinghausen’s disease, the neoplasm usually oc­curs in the solitary form (Oi et al. 1993).
The risk of malignant transformation is very low; however an increase in patients affected by Von Recklinghausen’s disease (about 10%–15% of cases) has been observed (Butugan et al. 1993).
8.9.2.1 Imaging Findings
CT and MR appearance of sinonasal schwannomas is rather nonspecifi c. Remodeling and interruption of adjacent bony structures are frequent fi ndings, which may be present alone or in association (Fujiyoshi et al. 1997) (Fig. 8.47). MR fi ndings refl ect the histo­logic features of the lesion. In detail, the prevalence of Antoni A component (highly cellular) results in intermediate signal on both T1 and T2. On the other hand, whenever an Antoni B pattern is predominant, schwannomas exhibit a more cystic appearance. In fact, in these cases, T2 hyperintensity is observed,
due to the presence of intercellular loose myxoid stroma. Contrast uptake is variable and often non­homogeneous (Bando et al. 1992; Sarioglu et al. 2002, Cakmak et al. 2003; Quesada et al. 2003). No enhancement is observed in cystic areas of Antoni B schwannomas (Sarioglu et al. 2002). Intracranial extension has been reported in few cases (Fujiyoshi et al. 1997).
8.9.3 Leiomyoma
Leiomyoma is a benign myogenic neoplasm which may sporadically occur in the sinonasal area (Zijlker and Vis se r 1989; Nal l et al. 1997). From the histological standpoint, it is classifi ed into the following subtypes: vascular, nonvascular, and epi­thelioid, also known as leiomyoblastoma (Batsakis
1978). In the former type, the lesion seems to arise from vessel walls. In the second type, neoplastic cells are generally spindle-shaped and associated with lengthened blunt-ended nuclei and eosinophilic cy­toplasm. In the epithelioid form, the cells are round or polygonal, with clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm (Shanmugaratnam 1991).

Hachisuga et al. (1984), in a large series of 562 patients affected by leiomyoma, observed only fi ve cases of sinonasal involvement. Nicolai et al. (1996), in a review of the literature, identifi ed about 30 in­stances of well-documented sinonasal leiomyomas. The neoplasm usually affects subjects between the fi fth and sixth decade of life, with a slight predomi­nance for females.
The rarity of such a lesion in the sinonasal tract may be explained by the paucity of vascular smooth muscle fi bers, which are considered the elements of origin (Batsakis 1978; Mccaffrey et al. 1978; ). According to other theories, the lesion could stem from aberrant undifferentiated mesenchymal cells or from piloerector or sweat gland muscles (Batsakis 1978; Barr et al. 1990).
8.9.3.1 Imaging Findings
Both the lack of specifi city of CT or MR fi ndings and the extreme rarity of sinonasal leiomyoma make an imaging based diagnosis nearly impossible. As an aggressive pattern of growth has sometimes been de­scribed for this benign lesion – including bone de­struction and orbit encroachment (Harcourt and Gallimori 1993; Trott et al. 1994) – the main role of imaging is to precisely defi ne the deep extension of the lesion.
mately 30 cases reported in the literature (Ketabchi et al. 2003). In this area, the lesion more frequently involves the ethmoid and the middle turbinate; fur­thermore, there is a slight predominance in females and in the fi fth decade of life (Ketabchi et al. 2003).
As in other anatomic sites, paraganglioma of the si­nonasal tract may display an aggressive behavior and an infi ltrating growth pattern (Welkoborsky et al. 2000). According to a recent review of the literature (Ketabchi et al. 2003), six patients with paraganglioma of the si­nonasal tract presented distant or regional metastases. Increased mitotic fi gures, necrosis, vascular invasion, aneuploidy and a high proliferation rate may be impor­tant indicators for identifying lesions with a potentially aggressive biological behavior (Shanmugaratnam 1991; Welkoborsky et al. 2000)
8.9.4.1 Imaging Findings
Sinonasal paragangliomas exhibit no distinctive im­aging feature. On both CT and MR sinonasal para­gangliomas appear as markedly enhancing lesions; bone destruction can be observed (Myssiorek 2001) (Fig. 8.48). The differential diagnosis is therefore re­stricted to highly vascularized lesions, such as lobu­lar capillary hemangioma, hemangiopericytoma, schwannoma, and metastases (particularly from kid­ney, breast, and thyroid cancer).
8.9.4 Paraganglioma
Paraganglioma is a benign neoplasm made up of cells originating from the neural crest and later migrating together with ganglionic cells of the autonomic ner­vous system. Histologically, the lesion is characterized by nests of epithelioid cells (Zellballen), surrounded by a capillary network (Shanmugaratnam 1991). Other terms such as glomus tumor, chemodectoma and apu­doma have been used, but at present paraganglioma is the recommended name. Paragangliomas are com­monly divided into adrenal (i.e., pheochromocy tomas) and extra-adrenal in relation to the site of origin. The latter group includes cervicofacial paragangliomas, which rarely secrete catecholamines and therefore are classifi ed as non-chromaffi n. Most cases take origin in the temporal bone (glomus jugulare and glomus tym­panicum), above the bifurcation of the carotid artery (carotid body), and from the nodose ganglion (glomus intravagale) (Lack et al. 1977), whereas localization in the sinonasal tract is exceedingly rare, with approxi-
