Hemangiomas have rarely been found in the spinal cord. A few cases of spinal capillary hemangioma have been reported since 1987. The authors reported the two cases of capillary hemangioma including the tumor at conus medullaris and the another mimicked von Hippel-Lindau disease. A 15-year-old man was presented with coccydynia and left leg pain. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an int...

Hemangiomas are proliferative lesions characterized by increased endothelial cell turnover, may be present anywhere in the body, and rarely involve the skeleton. It is extremely uncommon to come across a case of Hemangioma of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and even more rare to find a case of bilateral Hemangioma of TMJ. As a result of the low incidence of such anomalies in the region of the...

Infantile hemangioma is a common tumor of infancy. Although most hemangiomas spontaneously regress, treatment is indicated based on complications, risk to organ development and function, and disfigurement. The serendipitous discovery of propranolol, a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor blocker, as an effective means to regress hemangiomas has made this a first-line therapy for hemangioma patie...

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...

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...
