CLINICAL CASE Man carrier of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene, with long-onset loss of vision in left eye. He had a retinal capillary hemangioma (HCR) and diffuse cystic edema in posterior pole. The systemic study revealed bilateral kidney tumors. Laser photocoagulation was performed which produced a subretinal and vitreous hemorrhage that required vitrectomy. DISCUSSION Retinal capillary hem...

Context: Vascular tumors of infancy and childhood consist of a number of clinicopathologically distinct entities. Infantile hemangiomas (IH) constitute the bulk of these tumors. As they are seldom biopsied, we do not encounter an opportunity to study them, and this is evident from the paucity of reported cases in pathology literature from India. Clinicians and pathologists alike have traditiona...

In recent years advances have been made in the clinical and genetic aspects of von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). Retinal capillary hemangioma is the most common manifestation of VHL disease and, therefore, ophthalmologists are frequently involved in the care of patients with this disease. The incidence of VHL disease is approximately 1 in 40,000 live births. It is estimated that there are approx...

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of oral propranolol in the treatment of infantile peri-orbital and/ or orbital capillary hemangioma. Methods: We conducted a prospective study at Prince Rashid Bin Al Hassan military hospital between 5 of August 2012 and 29 of January 2013. Eleven patients with peri-orbital and/or orbital capillary hemangiomas were included in this study. All patients underwen...

OBJECTIVE To compare computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings between two histological types of nasal hemangiomas (cavernous hemangioma and capillary or lobular capillary hemangioma). MATERIALS AND METHODS CT (n = 20; six pre-contrast; 20 post-enhancement) and MRI (n = 7) images from 23 patients (16 men and seven women; mean age, 43 years; range, 13-73 years) wit...

We report a case of mixed capillary venous hemangioma of the retroperitoneum in a 61-year-old man. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a mass to be hypoechoic with increased flow in color Doppler imaging. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a centripetal filling-in of the mass, located anterior to the left psoas muscle at the level of sacroiliac joint. On the basis of imaging fe...

A 48-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of progressive gait disturbance. Neurological examinations showed mild weakness in his lower extremities and depreciation of deep sensation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed an intradural extramedullary enhanced lesion at the levels of the T10 and T11 vertebrae. Laminectomy of the T10 and T11 vertebrae was performed, and the vascular tumor...

Hemangiomas of the head and neck are benign tumours that have their origin from blood vessels. classified as capillary, cavernous , sclerosing central type. The nature this tumour is progressively slow growing, including involvement greater portions superficial deep vessels, functions maybe affected, depending on location. common in rare occurrence oral cavity. Lips, buccal mucosa tongue sites,...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Lobular capillary hemangioma is an uncommon lesion, and its MR imaging appearance has not been fully characterized. The purpose of this study was to determine the MR imaging features of nasal lobular capillary hemangioma and contrast its imaging characteristics to inverting papilloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MR imaging signals of 32 patients with histopathologically p...

Hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors; there are several types including the capillary hemangiomas, we present the case of an exceptional localization of capillary hemangioma in the middle ear. We report the case of a 60-year-old female which consults for episodes of pulsatile tinnitus, otorragies, and hearing loss of the left ear. The clinical examination revealed a reddish polypoid mass...
