Intramuscular haemangioma of the chest wall is very rare, and only few cases associated with rib destruction has been reported. Here, we describe a 37-year old woman with a giant intramuscular haemangioma arising in the left back and associated with rib destruction.

OBJECTIVES Placenta or placental chorangioma could be the origin site of infantile haemangioma since they share various histochemical and genetic characteristics with placental vascular tissue. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between chorangiomas and infantile haemangiomas in singleton and multiple pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS An informative questionnaire...

A cavernous pulmonary telangiectasis is a wide peripheral communication between a dilated, tortuous, thin-walled pulmonary artery and the corresponding pulmonary veins. It is part of a more or less generalized condition of telangiectasia in which small telangiectases are scattered in variable distribution and numbers in the lungs and elsewhere in the body. The striking appearance and obvious cl...

Treatment for haemangioma of the spinal cord often results in extensive bony resection that necessitates fusion and/or instrumentation. We report on a 75-year-old man who presented with neuropathic pain and muscle weakness of both lower limbs, secondary to an epidural haemangioma at T11-T12, extending laterally into the neuroforamen. The tumour was resected within the neuroforamen after a parti...

Twenty-three patients with symptomatic giant hemangioma of the liver were treated by surgery between 1979 and 1996 at the department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Cukurova. Twenty-three enucleations were performed in 21 patients, left lateral segmentectomy in one patient and enucleation plus left lobectomy in one patient. The tumors were enucleated along the interface b...

Haemangioma is a common benign soft tissue tumour. Intramuscular haemangiomas may present as a perceived sporting injury. Magnetic resonance imaging is the investigation of choice. Intramuscular haemangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained pain and swelling in a muscle.

This is a report of a case with unilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis due to ipsilateral ethmoid sinusitis. A 10 year old female was admitted in our hospital with severe headache, purulent postnasal discharge, right eye proptosis and third cranial nerve palsy in the same eye. She had history of viral upper respiratory tract infection and then acute otitis media which did not improve with rou...

Haemangioma of the frontal sinus was not reported in the English literature until now. This paper is reporting the first case of lobular haemangioma of the right frontal sinus that was treated by surgical excision. Nine months after surgery, there is no evidence of recurrence clinically. The literature on this topic was reviewed.
