Hemangioma, vascular malformation and varix are benign vascular lesions, common in the head and neck regions. Studies about the prevalence of these lesions in the oral cavity are scarce. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of and to obtain clinical data on oral hemangioma, vascular malformation and varix in a Brazilian population. Clinical data on those lesions were retrieved f...

BACKGROUND Although cavernous hemangioma is one of the most frequently encountered benign hepatic neoplasms, hepatic sclerosed hemangioma is very rare. We report a case of hepatic sclerosed hemangioma that was difficult to distinguish from an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by imaging studies. CASE PRESENTATION A 76-year-old male patient with right hypochondralgia was referred to our hospital...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and genetic findings in a family with multiple cases of cavernous hemangiomas. DESIGN Investigational clinical and genetic study in which 3 generations of a family consisting of 12 members were screened with magnetic resonance brain imaging, dilated ophthalmoscopic examination, and cutaneous survey coupled with linkage analysis to determine affected individu...

Liver hemangiomas are often asymptomatic, smaller and diagnosed incidentally. A giant hemangioma is defined as a lesion with a diameter greater than 5 cm. Giant hemangiomas can become symptomatic and may cause mechanical complications related to tumour size [1]. Also, complications such as coagulation disorders, bleeding and traumatic rupture can occur during conservative management period [1]....

Pericardial hemangioma is very rare and their coincidence with other visceral hemamgiomas is exceptional. We are reporting a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered pericardial hemangioma during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and mitral valve replacement surgery and a prior history of multiple hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. This case has been reported due to its extreme rarity. To ...

A 16-year-old female with a history of neck hemangioma surgery presented with irritable coughs. A computed tomography scan showed anterosuperior and middle mediastinal masses (Figure 1). The patient underwent surgery and the upper and middle mediastinal lesions were removed (Figure 2A). Pathological examination confirmed that the upper and mid...

Los hemangiomas infantiles son el resultado de la proliferación células del endotelio vascular y representan los tumores benignos más frecuentes en infancia, con una incidencia estimada 4-10% bebés caucásicos. Se clasifican según número, profundidad distribución. Dentro esta última clasificación se encuentran aquellos denominados segmentarios, que caracterizan por su distribución extensa áreas ...

In this report, we describe a case of healthy 67-year-old female with rapidly growing red nodules on the scalp that demonstrated histological features benign epithelioid hemangioma multiple instances yet behaved clinically as malignant angiosarcoma. Despite rounds resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, patient ultimately succumbed from her widely metastatic disease. Diagnosis vascular neoplasm...

Hemangiomas are the most frequent benign hepatic tumours and are usually found in patients aged between 40 and 60 years, more frequently in women. In 30-35% of patients, the lesions are multiple. If the lesions are larger than 4-10 cm, they are coined as "giant" hemangioma. Here, we present a case of giant hemangioma treated with enucleation of the lesion and the advantages of the procedure.

Primary racemose hemangioma with bronchial-pulmonary arterial fistula is a very rare abnormality. We herein report an asymptomatic case of primary racemose hemangioma with no significant size change in 5 years.
