Pure epidural cavernous hemangiomas are quite rare. In this paper, a case of lumbar epidural cavernous hemangioma presenting as a lumbar radiculopathy is presented. The magnetic resonance imaging findings, differential diagnosis and therapy options of this rare case are discussed.

Objectives: Hemangiomas account for 0.4%-0.6% of all tumors of the parotid gland and are extremely rare in adults. Changes in blood flow dynamics within hemangiomas result in thrombus formation and phleboliths. We present a case of cavernous hemangioma with multiple phleboliths of the parotid gland masquerading assialolithiasis in an adult patient. Methods: A 43-year-old woman visited our hospi...

INTRODUCTION Cavernous hemangioma in the thymus is a rare presentation in mediastinal hemangiomas. The diagnosis is difficult to make promptly because both invasive and noninvasive examinations usually fail to distinguish it from other tumors of the mediastinum. Their clinical presentations depends on their size and their involvement with adjacent mediastinal structures. CASE PRESENTATION We ...

Although cavernous hemangiomas occur frequently in the intracranial structures, they are rare in the spine. Most of spinal hemangiomas are vertebral origin and "pure" epidural hemangiomas not originating from the vertebral bone are very rare. Our spinal hemangioma case is extremely rare because of its "pure" epidural involvement and intralesional hemorrhage. A 64-year-old man presented with pro...

INTRODUCTION Cavernous hemangiomas of the orbit are benign vascular malformations, commonly encountered in adults. Although they are infrequent in pediatric population their diagnosis and course are of a great significance, mainly because they can cause visual disturbances such as amblyopia that can ensue, and secondarily due to their cosmetic and psychological effect. Special attention is requ...

Sclerosing hemangioma of the liver is an unusual tumor type. Because of its rarity and atypical radiologic findings, sclerosing hemangiomas can be difficult to distinguish from other lesions such as hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, metastasis, and organized abscesses. In this issue, we present a case consisting of both hepatic sclerosing hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma in a 63-...

pericardial hemangioma is very rare and their coincidence with other visceral hemamgiomas is exceptional. we are reporting a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered pericardial hemangioma during coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and mitral valve replacement surgery and a prior history of multiple hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. this case has been reported due to its extreme rarity. to ...

hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).however, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. hereby, authors report a w...

INTRODUCTION Cavernous hemangiomas of the uterus are extremely rare, benign lesions. A survey of the current literature identified fewer than 50 cases of hemangioma of the uterus. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the uterus in a 27-year-old Malay, para 1 woman who presented at our hospital with torrential vaginal bleeding having been transferred by land ambulance ...
