Venous angiomas were found to be the most common cerebral vascular malformations, composing 63% of such lesions in two autopsy series. Annual bleeding risk associated with venous angiomas is about 0.22 % per year. Venous angiomas are generally silent lesions because of their dynamic features, and are low flow and low pressure vascular structures draining normal brain tissue. An angioma rarely c...

Our experience with a patient who had an angioma of the anterior wall of the left ventricle that produced complete occlusion of the left main coronary artery is presented. Diagnosis was made before surgery from findings on cineangiographic studies. Successful surgical treatment consisted of a double aortocoronary bypass to the left anterior descending and obtuse marginal coronary arteries. The ...

Risk of multisystem disease in isolated ocular angioma (haemangioblastoma) EDITOR—Ocular angioma (haemangioblastoma) is the most common presenting feature of the multisystem famil-ial cancer syndrome von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). 1 Recognition of VHL is important because of the opportunity to reduce morbidity and mortality by early diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma, phaeochromocytoma, and ce...

We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with deep-red asymptomatic macules on the plantar and dorsal skin of the right great toe. Histopathologic findings were compatible with Angioma serpiginosum. Immunohistochemical stains for estrogens and progesterone receptors were negative. Dermoscopy showed an erythematous parallel ridge pattern with double rows of irregular dots and globules. We repor...

Massive splenomegaly due to multifocal littoral cell angioma was discovered incidentally in a 55-year-old man during a workup for an unrelated condition. The tumor was removed successfully by laparoscopic splenectomy. We report the second case of littoral cell angioma of the spleen treated laparoscopically.

Littoral cell angioma is a rare primary splenic tumor that is difficult to differentiate preoperatively from other benign and malignant splenic lesions. We report a case of littoral cell angioma of the spleen in a 51-year-old woman that presented with long standing anaemia.
