Capillary hemangioma also known as lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) or pyogenic granuloma is a benign, vascular lesion of unknown origin, composed of blood vessels and are probably developmental rather than neoplastic in origin. They usually affect skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity and rarely nasal mucosa. LCH bleeds on manipulations due to high vascularity. Microtraumas and hormon...

Cavernous hemangioma of the optic chiasm is extremely rare, representing 1% or less of all cavernous hemangioma.1 Klein et al described the earliest reported lesion in 1979.2 Patients typically present with chiasmal apoplexy, characterized by sudden visual disturbance, headache, retro-orbital pain, and nausea.3 Acute dysfunction of the chiasm and/or optic nerve has been called chiasmatic apople...

The lesion was completely blanchable on pressure with a glass slide, thus giving an appearance of hemangioma clinically. There was no punctum on the surface of the lesion (Figure1). With a differential diagnosis of hemangioma ,a doppler ultrasonography of the lesion was performed which rather than suggest...

A neck mass with soft consistency suggests the diagnosis of a cyst which is usually congenital in origin. Needle aspiration yielding blood should alert the physician the possibility of hemangioma although it is very rare. Ultrasonography and computed tomography will delineate the extent and nature of the lesion and provide the roadmap for surgical excision. We report a case of a girl who presen...

PURPOSE Ovarian hemangiomas are seen rarely. We present a case of an ovarian hemangioma occurring synchronously with contralateral mature cystic teratoma. CASE HISTORY An 81-year-old woman presented with hypertension and hyponatremia. In ultrasonographic evaluation a pelvic mass was found located at the left ovary. Histologically, a mature cystic teratoma measuring 9.5 × 9 × 8 cm was seen in ...

Hemangiomas are benign tumors of the capillary endothelium involved in varied clinical and pathologic entities. Congenital hemangioma is quite rare compared to infantile hemangioma. Hemangiomas rarely occur in bone. Intraosseous hemangiomas are most commonly found in the vertebral column and skull. The mandible is the most frequently affected skull bone. Intraosseous hemangiomas commonly presen...

Introduction: Giant cavernous hemangioma involving the nose extending to the nasopharynx and oropharynx with complete obstruction of the airway is very unusual and is yet to be described in the literature. In the present case, we have described a giant cavernous hemangioma successfully managed with endoscopic excision. Case Report: A 38-year-old male patient presented with rec...

Retroperitoneal hemangiomas are very rare. This paper presents the case of a 71-year-old female patient with giant cavernous hemangioma of the retroperitoneum who underwent surgical treatment for abdominal pain and left lower limb edema. Interventional staged treatment with percutaneous transcatheter arterial embolization prior to surgery was considered. Radical resection of the tumor was perfo...
