Venous lake senex hemangioma labiorum est. Typice est molle et caeruleum, cum gibbositate per venas dilatatas. Solitum solet apparere et non difficile ad tactum. Saepe in partibus oris et aurium solis multum occurrit. Vir XLVI annorum apparuit cum massa caerulea super labrum inferiorem, quae per VIII menses crevit. Parva initium habuit, et tempore maior facta est. Dixit se regionem non laesisse. Sanguinem sine causa vel post minora laesiones expertus non est. Medicus, eum examinans, in labio inferiore, quod erat molle et facile comprimendum, unam gibbam caeruleam reperit. Medicus eum cryotherapy vitreo utens liquido nitrogenio tractavit, laesionem per 10 secundas cum parva margine circumfuso refrigerans. Curatio facta est singulis duabus septimanis. Post duodecim septimanas aliqua emendatio facta est.
A venous lake, sometimes referred to as senile hemangioma of the lips is usually a solitary, non-indurated, soft, compressible, blue papule occurring due to dilatation of venules. It is commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the face and ears. A 46 year old male patient presented with an 8 month history of a single, painless, bluish swelling over the lower lip which began as a pea sized lesion and gradually increased to the present size. Patient strongly denied any history of trauma at the site. No history of bleeding spontaneously or following minimal trauma could be elicited. On physical examination, a single, violaceous, soft, compressible, non-indurated, non-pulsatile papule was present on the lower lip. Patient was treated with cryotherapy with application of liquid nitrogen by dipstick method with one 10-second freeze-thaw cycle with a 1-mm margin. This was done at biweekly intervals. Some improvement was obtained following 12 weeks of therapy.
