INTRODUCTION Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Most cases are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. A hemangioma can rarely be pedunculated; as a result, it may undergo torsion and infarction, which can make it symptomatic. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with acute abdominal pain due to torsion of a giant pedunculated hepatic hemangioma...

OBJECTIVE To explore the effective and convenient methods of infantile hemangioma treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS From October 2010 to June 2014, 31 infantile hemangioma patients admitted to our hospital, were administered propranolol combined with betamethasone injection treatment of lesions. RESULTS All patients were followed for 6 months-2 years. In treated patients, 24 patients with tum...

INTRODUCTION Cavernous hemangiomas of the uterus are extremely rare, benign lesions. A survey of the current literature identified fewer than 50 cases of hemangioma of the uterus. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the uterus in a 27-year-old Malay, para 1 woman who presented at our hospital with torrential vaginal bleeding having been transferred by land ambulance ...

Reported herein is a renal anastomosing hemangioma which developed slowly in the past four years. A 25-year-old woman was found a mass localized in the upper portion four years ago, and only slow progression in the past four years. She underwent a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy of right kidney and diagnosed as anastomosing hemangioma. On histology the vascular components of the tumor had an a...

Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors. They are the prerogative of the liver and skin. And genitourinary localizations are rare and have only been rarely reported in the prostat, bladder, ureter or the perineum. In the light of published cases, urethral hemangiomas are mostly found in males. Few cases of hemangioma in the female urethra were reported. We report a cavernous hemangioma of the ur...

Ovarian hemangioma is an uncommon ovarian tumor occurring in patients in different age groups. It is usually seen as small, asymptomatic mass, which is detected incidentally. On rare occasions, this type of tumor can be associated with other gynecological neoplasms. In this report, we present the clinicopathologic features of a case of ovarian hemangioma coexisting with multiple microscopic foc...

OBJECTIVES Infantile hemangiomas often are inapparent at birth and have a period of rapid growth during early infancy followed by gradual involution. More precise information on growth could help predict short-term outcomes and make decisions about when referral or intervention, if needed, should be initiated. The objective of this study was to describe growth characteristics of infantile heman...

Spindle cell hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor presenting as multifocal red or bluish nodules on the distal limbs. We present a 57-year-old woman with five years history of multiple, soft, violaceous nodules on her hands. Pathologic study indicated spindle cell hemangioma.

Cavernous hemangioma consists mainly of congenital vascular malformations present before birth and gradually increasing in size with skeletal growth. A small number of patients with cavernous hemangioma develop scoliosis, and surgical treatment for the scoliosis in such cases has not been reported to date. Here we report a 12-year-old male patient with severe progressive scoliosis due to a huge...

Cavernous hemangiomas are the most common type of benign liver tumor. Although these tumors are often asymptomatic, they can occur with an array of symptoms. The authors describe a case of a 51-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with a relentless cough, nausea, and abdominal pain. Results of a computed tomography scan suggested the patient had a giant cavernous hemangioma on...
