Multiple Intraosseous Hemangiomas: Uncommon Location

چکیده
A 74-year-old woman presented with a history of right leg pain. She did not have any obvious past or recent history of physical trauma. Knee radiography showed an oval hypertranslucent lesion in the right tibia (Picture 1). Computed tomography revealed an osteolytic tumor in the left ilium and the right tibia (Picture 2). The left iliac lesion appeared hyperintense on T2-weighted short-tau inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (Picture 3a) and showed gradual enhancement from the periphery with gadolinium (Picture 3b-d). A biopsy specimen from the tibial lesion showed capillary hyperplasia and endothelial cell proliferation, indicating intraosseous capillary hemangioma (Picture 4). Intraosseous hemangiomas account for <1.0% of all bone tumors and commonly involve the spine. The involvement of long and flat bones is uncommon (1). These hemangiomas appear as hyperintense regions on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and were enhanced with gadolinium (2). Intraosseous hemangioma should be considered when a pa-

Intraosseous hemangioma of the zygoma: CT and MR findings.
Intraosseous hemangiomas are uncommon, constituting less than 1% of all osseous tumors. The most frequent sites are the calvaria and the vertebral column. Involvement of the facial bones is rare, and occurs most commonly in the maxilla, mandible, and nasal bones. Only 20 cases of zygomatic involvement have been reported in the English-language literature. We report a case of an intraosseous hem...

Hemangiomas are benign tumors of the capillary endothelium involved in varied clinical and pathologic entities. Congenital hemangioma is quite rare compared to infantile hemangioma. Hemangiomas rarely occur in bone. Intraosseous hemangiomas are most commonly found in the vertebral column and skull. The mandible is the most frequently affected skull bone. Intraosseous hemangiomas commonly presen...

Background: Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangioma is a rare bony tumor. To date, only 9 cases of multiple lesions and 2 cases with a dural tail sign have been reported. Case presentation: Here, we present a case of multiple cavernous hemangiomas of the skull with dural tail sign in a 24-year-old man. No abnormalities were observed in the right orbit by craniography, but frontotemporal bone ...

متن کاملIntraosseous Hemangioma: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Intraosseous vascular lesions are rare conditions, comprising only 0.5 to 1% of all intraosseous hemangioma tumors. They mainly occur in the second decade of life especially in female. The most common locations are the vertebral column and skull; nevertheless, the mandible is quite rare location. Hemangiomas are benign vasoformative neoplasms of endothelial origin. However, the origin of centra...
