Hemangioma is a benign tumor composed of blood vessels. It classified into three types: cavernous, capillary, and mixed. Intraosseous hemangioma type cavernous that originates within the bone. very rare for it to originate from inferior turbinate. Furthermore, we report new case recurrence after incomplete excision. The patient was 60-year-old woman who had been experiencing left nasal obstruct...

Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is extremely rare.  Herein, a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung in a 44-year-old woman is reported.  On admission, the patient complained of pain in the left lower neck and upper chest.  Chest x-ray revealed a mass in lingular lobe of the left lung.  The patient underwent surgery and a mass was removed through left posterolateral thoracotomy.  Pathologi...

Sclerosed hemangioma is a rare variant of hemangioma. We present herein a case of hepatic sclerosed hemangioma. Imaging studies including ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass located between the liver and the stomach, with marginally streaky enhancement. A malignant neoplasm originating from the mesentery was suspected preoperatively....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to establish the MR imaging characteristics of choroidal hemangioma and to compare them with those of uveal melanoma. METHODS Among 41 patients examined at 1.5 T (4-cm surface coil, T1-weighted and fast spin-echo T2-weighted sequences), 25 had uveal melanoma and 16 had circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. After i.v. bolus injection of gadopentet...

Atypical hemangioma (including sclerosing and/or hyalinizing hemangioma) of the liver is a rare variant of hepatic hemangioma, which is the most common benign hepatic tumor. Atypical hemangioma can be indistinguishable from malignancy, primary, or metastatic, based on imaging characteristics. We describe a case of a 70-year-old man with weight loss, occasional bloody stool, change in caliber of...

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Most such hemangiomas are small, asymptomatic, and have an excellent prognosis. Giant hepatic hemangioma has been reported in the literature, but the exophytic and pedunculated forms of hepatic hemangioma are rare. A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital under the suspicion of having a gastric submucosal tumor. Abdominal ...

BACKGROUND Vascular tumors of the kidney are rare tumors that are usually diagnosed and confirmed by histopathological examination due to the difficulty in definitive diagnosis by clinical and radiological examination. Anastomosing hemangioma is a rare variant of capillary hemangioma that mimics angiosarcoma. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 55-year-old female with a history of partial ...

Hemangioma of the rib is a rare benign tumor that is often difficult to distinguish from malignant bone tumors. Rib hemangioma often shows bony disruption with a slight cortical disruption, extraosseous lesion, and expanded bone on computed tomography (CT). We report the case of a 68-year-old man with atypical rib hemangioma with a slight cortical disruption and no expanded bone. The tumor show...

Infantile hemangioma is an endothelial tumor that grows rapidly after birth but slowly regresses during early childhood. Initial proliferation of hemangioma is characterized by clonal expansion of endothelial cells (ECs) and neovascularization. Here, we demonstrated mRNA encoding CD133-2, an important marker for endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), predominantly in proliferating but not involut...

Bone scan was performed a 77 years old man with prostatic carcinoma. The planar 3h 99mTc-methylenediphosphonate (MDP) whole-body bone scan did not reveal skeletal metastases. However, on the anterior view, unexpected, large, round shaped activity in the liver projection was noted (Panel A). Further investigation disclosed that the patient had been operated for hepatic hemangioma thirty years ag...
