Abstract Background Primary cardiac tumors are infrequently, usually benign, and diagnosed incidentally. Among primary tumors, hemangiomas exceptionally rare with only a 1–2% incidence. In most cases, histological diagnosis is made after surgical removal or at autopsy. Case presentation: A 36–year–old male patient suffering from several months of bothering night sweats. He has no previous medic...

We describe a patient with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction due to a giant hepatic hemangioma associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. A 67-year-old woman presented with upper abdominal distension and appetite loss. The medical history was not relevant to the current disorder. Initial laboratory tests revealed the following: serum platelet count, 9.9 × 10⁴/µL; serum fibrinogen degradati...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of sodium morrhuate 5% injections in patients with low flow vascular lesions, which consist of orbital lymphangiomas, and in one patient with intraosseous cavernous hemangioma. DESIGN Prospective, interventional consecutive case series. METHODS Intralesional sodium morrhuate 5% was injected under direct visualization or under radiographic guidance to six pati...

Cavernous hemangiomas can arise in any region of the body, including the central nervous system. Spinal cavernous hemangiomas account for 5% 12% of all cases of vertebral vascular malformation. Most of these are of vertebral origin, and cases that are non-vertebral in origin are rare. We encountered a patient with a relatively rare spinal epidural cavernous hemangioma of the thoracic spine that...

dent ulcerative colitis had been treated with tacrolimus therapy. He underwent colonoscopy to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the tacrolimus therapy. Endoscopic examination revealed complete mucosal healing throughout the entire colon. However, a pedunculated polyp, 10mm in size, which exhibited superficial areas of ulceration on its surface, was detected at the sigmoid colon (●" Fig. 1). Th...

Hemangioma is a benign tumor of dilated blood vessels. It is most commonly seen in the head and neck region and rarely in the oral cavity. Hemangiomas in the oral cavity are always of clinical importance and require appropriate treatment. We report here a case of a 34-year-old female patient with a swelling on the lateral surface of tongue which did not respond to the sclerosing agent and was f...

Intracranial cavernous hemangiomas (cavernomas) are uncommon vascular hamartomas that develop infrequently in an extracerebrallocation, with the middle cranial fossa being the most frequently reported site [1, 2]. Accurate presurgical diagnosis is not often achieved, and because of their location and propensity to bleed profusely during surgery, these tumors are usually impossible to resect com...

BACKGROUND Most spinal cavernous haemangiomas occur in the vertebral body and purely extradural cavernous hemangiomas without any vertebral body involvement is rare and account for only 4% of all extradural spinal tumors. Dumbbell-shaped spinal cavernous angioma is extremely rare, only 10 cases have been reported in the literature. CASE DESCRIPTION A 77-year-old female presented with a one-ye...

Laryngeal hemangiomas are relatively rare. Laryngeal hemangiomas occur in two main forms--infantile and adult laryngeal hemangiomas. While infantile hemangiomas are usually found to occur in the subglottis, adult hemangiomas occur commonly in the supraglottic regions of the larynx. Laryngeal hemangioma with cavernous features isolated to the free edge of the vocal fold is a very rare clinical f...
