Background: Cervical esophageal hemangioma is a rare benign tumor. Symptoms may include hematemesis, dyspnea, cough, dysphagia, and chest pain. Objectives: To describe a case of a large esophageal hemangioma in order to raise awareness of the condition and highlight the use of a cooperative endoscopic treatment approach by a gastroenterologist and otolaryngologist with excellent results. The li...

The authors present an extremely rare case of an aggressive and progressive vertebral capillary hemangioma of the lumbar spine secondary to a trauma. A 40-year-old man who complained of back and leg pain due to a hemangioma of L1 that had begun a year after the fracture of the same vertebra was subsequently operated on. Due to the profuse bleeding, only a subtotal removal was possible. Histopat...

C horoidal hemangioma is a relatively rare, benign vascular hamartoma. The circumscribed type is classically unilateral and is believed to be congenital in origin.1,2 Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma typically appears as a slightly oval or round, red-orange mass in the macular or perimacular region of the choroid, often with clinically indistinct borders.1-3 Although choroidal hemangioma is b...

Infantile hemangiomas are endothelial tumors that grow rapidly in the first year of life and regress slowly during early childhood. Although hemangiomas are well-known vascular lesions, little is known about the mechanisms that cause the excessive endothelial cell proliferation in these most common tumors of infancy. To investigate the molecular basis of hemangioma, we isolated endothelial cell...

Aim. Cavernous hemangioma-like Kaposi sarcoma is a rare morphologic type of Kaposi sarcoma. So far there are no cases in the literature defining the histological features of this morphologic spectrum in detail. In this study we presented two classical-type cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma cases with histologic findings resembling cavernous hemangioma in company with clinical and histopathological data....

A hemangioma of the parapharyngeal space (PPS) is an extremely rare tumor and is responsible for 0.5-1% of all tumors occurring in the PPS. We report a case of PPS venous hemangioma in a 49-year-old woman presenting with diffuse swelling in the submandibular region. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan showed a cystic mass with multiple calcifications in the PPS. The calcific nodules we...

Hemangioma, the most common tumor of infancy, is a benign vascular neoplasm of unknown etiology. We show, for the first time to our knowledge, that endothelial cells from proliferating hemangioma are clonal, and we demonstrate that these hemangioma-derived cells differ from normal endothelial cells in their rates of proliferation and migration in vitro. Furthermore, migration of hemangioma endo...

Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is extremely rare. Herein, a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung in a 44-year-old woman is reported. On admission, the patient complained of pain in the left lower neck and upper chest. Chest x-ray revealed a mass in lingular lobe of the left lung. The patient underwent surgery and a mass was removed through left posterolateral thoracotomy. Pathologic fin...

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...
