Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown origin, and littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare vascular tumor of the spleen with an unknown etiology. The current study reports the case of a 28-year-old female who presented with anemia, growth retardation and amenorrhea. Physical examination revealed a mass in the mesentery, splenomegaly with multiple small nodules,...

668 defined, hemispherical, nontender, noncompressible, boggy swelling, abutting the lower margin of the plaque. A few satellite, hyperpigmented papules were present over the thighs in the periphery of the main lesion. The patient denied any history of bleeding or ulceration of the plaque. There was no evidence of sweating or excessive growth of lanugo hair over the plaque. Thrill and bruit wer...

Diagnosis of angioma of the vertebra is a rarity. It may be discovered accidentally while radiographying the spine for some other lesion. And in such a case the disease remains asymptomatic. Symptoms, when present, may be pain in the back (Case No. 1) , or they may be those of spinal cord compression (Case No. 2) which are indistinguishable from those produced by spinal cord tumour. The diagnos...

ANGIOMATA of the uveal tract are rare and those situated in the anterior parts of the uveal tract are extremely rare (Duke-Elder, 1940). Cases have been reported as haemangiomata of the iris which appeared as vascular tumours on the surface of the iris giving rise to periodic bleeding. Ashton (1964) reviewed the literature on primary tumours of the iris and reported that so far only eight cases...

A correlation between radiation therapy and cavernoma has been suspected since 1994. Since then, only a few cases of radio-induced cavernomas have been reported in the literature (85 patients). Most of them were children, and the most frequent original tumour had been medulloblastoma. The authors report a case of two cystic cavernous angiomas after radiation therapy for atypical meningioma in a...

A 16-month-old male presented with focal motor seizures with secondary generalization. On physical exam, a bilateral facial cutaneous angioma, sharply demarcated by the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve, was noted (Figure 1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated calcification and atrophy of the right frontal lobe as well as an associated pial...
