Venous lake Senex hemangioma labiorum est. Est typice mollis, caeruleus, cum gibbositate per venas dilatatas. Solum apparet et tactu non difficile sentitur. Saepe in partibus oris et aurium solis multum occurrit. Vir XLVI annorum ingressus est cum massa caerulea super labrum inferius, quae per octo menses crevit. Parva incepta est, et maiora tempore crevit. Dixit se regionem non laesisse. Sanguinem sine causa vel post minora laesiones experiri non est. Medicus eum examinans, in labio inferiore, quod erat mollis et facile comprimendus, unam gibbam caeruleam reperit. Medicus eum cryoterapia vitrea utens liquid nitrogen tractavit, laesionem per 10 secundas cum parva margine circumferente refrigerans. Curationem duabus singulis septimanis fecit. 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.
