Neuroradiologic studies performed in 18 cases of surgically verified intraorbital cavernous hemangioma are reported. Skull films usually showed enlargement of the orbit and evidence of soft-tissue mass. Phlebography rarely demonstrated filling of the cavernous hemangioma or enlarged draining veins. On angiography, in addition to displacement of vessels, pooling of contrast medium in the cavitie...

We have read with interest the article “Dynamic Enhancement Features of Cavernous Sinus Cavernous Hemangiomas on Conventional Contrast-Enhanced MR Imaging” by Y. Jinhu et al published in the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology. The authors reported progressive contrast “filling in” in cavernous hemangiomas in the cavernous sinus as an important differential diagnostic sig...

BACKGROUND Cavernous hemangioma is a frequent and the most common, primary, benign tumor of the orbit in adults. It is typically single and unilateral, considered not to recur after having been completely excised. Multiple orbital cavernous hemangiomas without signs of hemangiomatosis are rare. Multiple cavernous hemangiomas may recur after a complete excision and may exist with concurrent syst...

Childhood malignant testicle tumors are very rare. In the literature to date, it has been reported that there are only 24 cavernous hemangioma cases existing in English literature. In this study, we discuss a testicular mass case which was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma. The patient, who followed for left multicystic dysplastic kidney since his birth, was admitted to our clinic with complain...

In this study we report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the testis, which mimicked a testicular teratoma. A 42-year-old male presented with a left testicular swelling that had arisen suddenly and been present for three months. Scrotal ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass with several calcifications in the left testicle. The mass demonstrated blood flow in the color Doppler mode. A radical or...

A 10-month-old infant with the diagnosis of retinal cavernous hemangioma involving the macula presented with an outward deviation of the right eye that has been noticed by her parents. Examination revealed a clearing vitreous hemorrhage, and grape-like clusters filled with blood in the posterior pole. After 4 cycles of intravenous infliximab over the period of 3 months, no evident change was no...

We report an unusual presentation of an orbital cavernous hemangioma in a 26-year-old female, who noted sudden redness and swelling of the left eye (LE) on waking up. At presentation, upper eyelid edema with periorbital ecchymosis and subconjunctival hemorrhage were noted in the LE. Although there was transient symptomatic relief with topical medications, blurring of vision developed in the LE....

OBJECTIVE To describe a case of adrenal cavernous hemangioma in a 67 year old man who presented left lumbar pain. METHODS Abdominal ultrasound, contrast enhanced ultrasound of the lesion, abdominal-pelvic CT scan, and then left adrenalectomy and pathology were performed RESULTS Imaging studies showed a large solid-cystic mass with 12 × 11 cm diameters in the left adrenal gland, well defined...

Cavernous hemangioma consists mainly of congenital vascular malformations present before birth and gradually increasing in size with skeletal growth. A small number of patients with cavernous hemangioma develop scoliosis, and surgical treatment for the scoliosis in such cases has not been reported to date. Here we report a 12-year-old male patient with severe progressive scoliosis due to a huge...

RATIONALE Hemangiomas are benign tumors characterized by an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels, most often occur in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, intramuscular hemangioma, a distinctive type of hemangioma within the skeletal muscle, account for <1% of all hemangiomas, temporalis muscle is a very uncommon site, cavernous hemangioma of the temporalis muscle with prominent formation of ph...
