BACKGROUND Senile hemangioma, so-called cherry angioma, is known as the most common vascular anomalies specifically seen in the aged skin. The pathogenesis of its abnormal angiogenesis is still unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we found that senile hemangioma consisted of clusters of proliferated small vascular channels in upper dermis, indicating that this tumor is categ...

Title Diagnosis and Management of Peripheral Exudative Hemorrhagic Chorioretinopathy (PEHCR) Abstract Text A patient who presents for routine eye exam has an incidental finding of subretinal hemorrhage and final diagnosis of PEHCR.

PURPOSE To report late recurrence of orbital cavernous hemangioma in a patient ten years after complete resection of the primary tumor. CASE REPORT A 32-year-old woman with a history of progressive visual loss and proptosis underwent lateral orbitotomy for resection of a large cavernous hemangioma. Ten years later, proptosis recurred and the patient developed progressive ocular deviation. Ima...

Intramuscular hemangioma, an infrequent but important cause of musculoskeletal pain, is often difficult to establish the diagnosis clinically. This report describes a case of a 32-yr-old woman who presented with severe left calf pain for 10 yr. Initial conservative treatments consisting of intramuscular electrical stimulation, herb medication, acupuncture, and intramuscular lidocaine injection ...

Sinusoidal hemangioma is a distinctive subset of a group of lesions known collectively as cavernous hemangiomas. Clinically, it develops in adults, predominantly females, and presents as a solitary, painless, bluish, deep dermal or subcutaneous nodule. Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumor. Lipoma is distinguished from sinusoidal hemangioma on both clinical and histological grounds...

Benign hemangiomas and vascular malformations are the most common tumor of infants and children [1]. Skull involvement is rare compared with soft-tissue involvement. A plethora of classifications applied to these lesions has led to an imperfect and suboptimal understanding of them. Burrows et al. [2] describe angiographic differences between hemangiomas and vascular malformations that corrobora...

We describe here the case of a 16-year-old boy successfully treated at our hospital for intramuscular cavernous hemangioma in the left soleus muscle. The patient was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging and open biopsy after attempted/failed surgery at another institution. We performed lower leg phlebography in order to identify all the feeding and draining veins of the cavernous hemangio...

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 a...

BACKGROUND Indocyanine green video-angiography is a recently popularised technique for imaging the retina and choroid. Little is known about the value of this technique in the evaluation of choroidal tumours. METHODS Indocyanine green video-angiograms of 51 patients with choroidal tumours, including 32 with choroidal melanoma, five with choroidal naevus, four with choroidal metastasis, four w...
