Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of the head and neck in children, including intracranial neoplasms. Capillary hemangioma in turn is the commonest type of hemangioma. Our case establishes that its anatomic distribution may include the intracranial compartment. We were unable to distinguish capillary hemangioma from meningioma based on imaging findings alone.

Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of infantile period and usually involved sites are head and neck (%50), followed by trunk and extremities. Hemangioma is rarely described in genitals. We report a 17-months-old patient with a hemangioma of the preputium penis. The tumor was completely removed surgically and histological examination revealed an infantile hemangioma.

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Recently its frequency of detection has increased with the introduction of nation-wide cancer screening programs and technical improvement of radiological modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography. Radiological findings of typical hemangioma are well-known. However, sometimes, there are some atypical findings...

Hemangioma is the most common benign hepatic neoplasm. The majority of cases are asymptomatic and can be confirmed by imaging examinations, including enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Exophytic growth is not common and pedunculated cases are extremely rare. The present study reports a case that was pre-operatively misdiagnosed as a stomach-originating tumor. Laparosco...

Hemangioma is one of the most common benign neoplasm involved on head and neck. However, cavernous hemangiomas are relatively rare in preauricular sinus space and has rarely been reported around the world. Recently, a 44-year-old female patient came to our clinic with cavernous hemangioma involving the preauricular sinus. This case was surgically managed via excision. Preoperatively, it was dif...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been reported play a crucial role in some tumors. In order to investigate the association of miR-195 with hemangioma, we investigate the expression of miR-195 in hemangioma tissues and its role in biological behavior of XTPS-1 and HemEChemangioma cancer cell lines. Quantitative qPCR results showed miR-195 was significantly down-regulated in hemangioma tissues co...

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...
