Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of the head and neck in children, including intracranial neoplasms. Capillary hemangioma in turn is the commonest type of hemangioma. Our case establishes that its anatomic distribution may include the intracranial compartment. We were unable to distinguish capillary hemangioma from meningioma based on imaging findings alone.

Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of infantile period and usually involved sites are head and neck (%50), followed by trunk and extremities. Hemangioma is rarely described in genitals. We report a 17-months-old patient with a hemangioma of the preputium penis. The tumor was completely removed surgically and histological examination revealed an infantile hemangioma.

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Recently its frequency of detection has increased with the introduction of nation-wide cancer screening programs and technical improvement of radiological modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography. Radiological findings of typical hemangioma are well-known. However, sometimes, there are some atypical findings...

Hemangioma is the most common benign hepatic neoplasm. The majority of cases are asymptomatic and can be confirmed by imaging examinations, including enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Exophytic growth is not common and pedunculated cases are extremely rare. The present study reports a case that was pre-operatively misdiagnosed as a stomach-originating tumor. Laparosco...

Hemangioma is one of the most common benign neoplasm involved on head and neck. However, cavernous hemangiomas are relatively rare in preauricular sinus space and has rarely been reported around the world. Recently, a 44-year-old female patient came to our clinic with cavernous hemangioma involving the preauricular sinus. This case was surgically managed via excision. Preoperatively, it was dif...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been reported play a crucial role in some tumors. In order to investigate the association of miR-195 with hemangioma, we investigate the expression of miR-195 in hemangioma tissues and its role in biological behavior of XTPS-1 and HemEChemangioma cancer cell lines. Quantitative qPCR results showed miR-195 was significantly down-regulated in hemangioma tissues co...

Hyaluronan (HA) has an extraordinarily high turnover in physiological tissues, and HA degradation is accelerated in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. CD44 (a cell surface receptor) and two hyaluronidases (HYAL1 and HYAL2) are thought to be responsible for HA binding and degradation; however, the role of these molecules in HA catabolism remains controversial. Here we show that KIAA1199, a de...

BACKGROUND Synovial chondromatosis (SCh) can undergo malignant transformation. Pathologic diagnosis of secondary synovial chondrosarcoma (SChS) is challenging and misdiagnosis may result in over- or undertreatment. METHOD A systematic review revealed 48 cases of SChS published in 27 reports since 1957. Data was collected to identify findings indicative of SChS and outcomes of treatment. RES...

Hemangiomas have rarely been found in the spinal cord. A few cases of spinal capillary hemangioma have been reported since 1987. The authors reported the two cases of capillary hemangioma including the tumor at conus medullaris and the another mimicked von Hippel-Lindau disease. A 15-year-old man was presented with coccydynia and left leg pain. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an int...
