We report a rare case of an umbilical cord hemangioma. The umbilical cord consisted of Capillaries and cavernous blood vessels and the hemangioma stressed umbilical arteries and vein. At 40 weeks of gestation, it resulted in intrauterine death of the fetus. Microscopically, there were lots of vessels with various thicknesses in the umbilical cord. Autopsy shows evidences of smothering. These fi...

Cardiac hemangioma is a rare primary benign tumour, localised in the right atrium in 23% of cases. In a 60-year-old patient, who complained of remote chest discomfort and recent exertional palpitation, a right atrial mass was discovered by magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography. A selective operation was performed and the tumour was resected. Histology revealed it to be a cavernous hem...

Hemangioma of the rib is an uncommon benign vascular tumour. A case of rib hemangioma in a 29-year-old woman is presented. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomography revealed a mass along the inner surface of the 7th left rib with bone destruction. She underwent resection of the 7th rib. The pathologic diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. Hemangiomas of the rib are rare tumours but should be ke...

Cavernous hemangioma of the calvarium is a very rare disease, and patients usually present with headaches or a visible skull deformity. Few reports of patients presenting with intradiploic or epidural hemorrhages are found in the literature. No cases of an intradural hemorrhage from a cavernous hemangioma of the skull have been reported to date. We present the case of a 50-year-old male with a ...

BACKGROUND A sclerosed hemangioma of the liver, an extremely rare type of benign hepatic tumor, was found at autopsy. CASE REPORT An 81-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital for surgical resection of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin in his left forearm. At admission, serological tests for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody were negative with no evidence of ci...

Adrenal cavernous hemangiomas are rare nonfunctioning benign tumors. This case report presents a patient with a huge nonfunctioning adrenal cavernous hemangioma presenting as an adrenal incidentaloma suspicious for adrenal myelolipoma. Although adrenal cavernous hemangiomas are rare, they should be considered as a part of the differential diagnosis of adrenal neoplasms. The proper treatment is ...

introductioin Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), also known as cavernous angioma, is a type of vascular malformation in the central nervous system. To date, rare cases of CCM and seizure have been reported in pregnancies. Nowadays, the management of such condition in pregnancy is still a challenge due to lacking of experiences. We presented a case of pregnant woman with CCM combined with ep...

Hemangioma is a benign growth of skin. Involvement of external genitalia, scrotum and vulva has been recorded representing approximately 1% of all cutaneous hemangiomas. Cavernous hemangiomas(CH), are benign vascular lesions which commonly occur in skin, liver and superficial or deep soft tissues It presents as purple, single, globular or multilobular tumors or as flat or slightly elevated stra...

drome. We speculate that the unilateral episodes of elevated intraocular pressure were due to the recurrent hyphemas and not to the pigment dispersion. Some iris melanomas can also be highly vascular and simulate a hemangioma. However, the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma should be suspected when the entire lesion is composed of large venous channels without a solid melanocytic component.

A 59-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of incidentally found right retroperitoneal tumor. He had undergone removal of a hemangioma in the left oral cavity four years before. An abdominal CT scan performed in our hospital revealed poorly enhanced bilateral retroperitoneal tumors adjacent to kidneys. Those tumors were of low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high on T2-w...
