A case of mediastinal cavernous hemangioma

A 6-year-old boy had an abnormal shadow on the chest X-ray film. It showed a tumor shadow with calcification on the right hilum. The plain CT scan showed an anterior mediastinal mass and its density was similar to that of large vessels. On the angio CT scan the lesion displayed a much lower enhancement than large vessels. The tumor was resected completely by median sternotomy. It was 5.6 X 3.6 X 3.0 cm in size and contained a phlebolith 5 mm in diameter. The histological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma.     

A case of mediastinal cavernous hemangioma]

A case of mediastinal cavernous hemangioma was reported. An asymptomatic 6-year-old girl was discovered to have a mass in the left anterior superior mediastinum on a routine chest x-ray film. Computed tomograms demonstrated a mediastinal mass with calcification. Under a median sternotomy, a 10 x 9 x 5 cm mass was resected after dissecting the connections to the pericardium. As the mass surrounded the left phrenic nerve, the nerve was resected with the tumor. The histopathology was cavernous hemangioma. The calcification was not found in the vessels as the phleboliths but was showed in the interstitial tissues.     

A case of cavernous hemangioma of the testis

Non-germinal cell tumor of the testis is a rare disease, and vascular tumor of the testis is a still rarer disease. Herein, a case of cavernous hemangioma of the testis is reported. A 75-year-old man consulted our department with the complaint of a painless left intrascrotal tumor. Laboratory findings revealed slight leukocytopenia and thrombocytopenia of unknown origin. In chest X-ray, a diffuse reticular shadow was shown and it was considered due to pulmonary fibrosis, but, alpha-fetoprotein and CEA were normal. Left radical orchiectomy was performed under spinal anesthesia. The tumor existed under the tunica albuginea, and the cutting surface of the tumor was brown and irregular. There were hemorrhagic portions in some places. The left epididymis and the left spermatic cord were normal. Histologically, the tumor was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma. The vascular tumor of the testis is a very rare disease, and only 17 cases have been reported including this case. This case was the 7th case of cavernous hemangioma of the testis, and the first case in Japan. This patient died of respiratory failure due to pulmonary fibrosis and pneumonia. In the autopsy, there was no abnormal finding that was considered to be related to the cavernous hemangioma of the testis.     

A case of cavernous hemangioma of the testis

A 4-month-old boy was admitted with the chief complaint of painless mass in the right scrotum. A right testicular tumor complicated with hydrocele was diagnosed preoperatively by physical examination and ultrasonography. Right high orchiectomy was performed and the pathological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma of the right testis. This disease is very rare, and our case is the 13th in the domestic and foreign literature.     

A case of convexity cavernous hemangioma associated with meningioma

A case of convexity cavernous hemangioma associated with sellar meningioma with parasellar extension is presented. A 61-year-old female who had complained of left blepharoptosis and diplopia was admitted to our hospital. On admission she showed left oculomotor nerve palsy. Plain CT revealed an isodense mass in the sellar and parasellar region. Computed angiotomography demonstrated that this mass was enhanced heterogeneously and filled the sellar turcica and extended superiorly. And homogeneously enhanced mass in the convexity without mass effect was observed. Angiogram revealed no tumor stain in any phase. With these findings, this case was diagnosed as the multiple meningiomas preoperatively. Left frontotemporal craniotomy was carried out, and subtotal removal of sellar and parasellar tumor and total removal of convexity tumor were performed. Pathologically the sellar and parasellar tumor was diagnosed as meningioma, convexity tumor as cavernous hemangioma derived from dura mater. Convexity cavernous hemangioma derived from dura mater is very rare, only one case was reported previously. Only 2 cases of cavernous hemangioma associated with meningioma have been reported in the literature. Correlation between cavernous hemangioma and meningioma is discussed. It is possible to owe this complication to the developmental abnormality concerning with inner factor like genetic factor and so on, because both tumors are mesodermal origin. However it is proper to regard that this complication occurred by chance.     

Retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma: a case report

A 55-year-old man was shot at the age of 50. At that time CT revealed a mass near the spleen. Thereafter, CT did not reveal any growth of the mass, but to examine the mass in detail he was hospitalized to our department. The mass was diagnosed as left adrenal cavernous hemangioma, since, on aortography, it was typical cavernous hemangioma and fed mainly from the left inferior phrenic artery. The mass was resected with the spleen, thoracic wall, and part of diaphragma. At the operation the left adrenal gland was identified to be intact. Histopathological diagnosis was retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma. This is the 19th case of retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma in the Japanese literature.     

Adrenal cavernous hemangioma: a case report

Background

Adrenal cavernous hemangiomas are very rare benign tumors that usually present as incidental findings on abdominal imaging. Preoperative differential diagnosis from other benign or malignant adrenal neoplasms may be challenging.

Case presentation

A 70-year old man was referred for an 8-cm abdominal mass incidentally discovered on a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) performed to investigate a pulmonary nodule. Biochemical tests ruled out any endocrine dysfunction and iodine 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine whole body scintiscan single-photon emission CT excluded a pheocromocitoma. Findings on magnetic resonance imaging were non-specific and the patient was elected for a left adrenalectomy. Histopathological diagnosis revealed a cavernous hemangioma. A portion of the resected tissue was tested for drug sensitivity to mitotane, doxorubicin, and sunitinib.

Conclusions

Adrenal hemangioma is a rare disease but should be included in the differential diagnosis of adrenal tumors. The surgical resection is generally required to exclude malignant disease, resolve pressure-related symptoms, and prevent retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Although specific features in diagnostic imaging are often lacking, if the diagnosis is established preoperatively a laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be performed due to the benign nature of the lesion. Doxorubicin and sunitinib were both capable of reducing primary culture cell viability, this suggest that similar drugs may be useful in the medical treatment of adrenal hemangiomas.

     

Hydrocele accompanying testicular cavernous hemangioma: A infant case report

Testicular hemangioma is a rare benign testicular tumor. In this case we presented who an infant applied to our clinic with left scrotal swelling. The tests performed were found to be compatible with testicular hemangioma and accompanying hydrocele. We performed inguinal exploration due to hydrocele accompanying testicular hemangioma. Pathology of tissue was found to be compatible with testicular cavernous hemangioma. In our investigations, it was seen that it was the first infant cavernous hemangioma in the literature.

Solitary jejunal cavernous hemangioma causing intermittent melena: A case report

Introduction and importanceHemangioma of the small intestine is a rare disease that causes acute and chronic intestinal bleeding and is difficult to diagnose before surgery. This report presents a case of a cavernous hemangioma confined to the jejunum of a man with intermittent melena.Case presentationA 38-year-old man presented with an episode of melena one and a half month ago. He had similar symptoms a year ago and had undergone esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and abdominopelvic computed tomography, but the results were normal. Abdominopelvic computed tomography performed after hospitalization showed a small intraluminal protruding mass in the jejunum. A jejunal hemangioma was found during laparoscopy and was successfully treated with intestinal resection.Clinical discussionIt is difficult to identify the cause of gastrointestinal bleeding preoperatively in patients with normal esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and abdominopelvic computed tomography results. Small bowel tumors, especially small hemangiomas, should be considered as a cause. Laparoscopy may be one option for finding and treating lesions of the small intestine in hospitals where capsule endoscopy or double-balloon intestinal enteroscopy is not available.ConclusionThis report presents a case of a cavernous hemangioma localized in the jejunum of a 38-year-old man with intermittent melena that was successfully treated with laparoscopy and intestinal resection, thereby emphasizing the usefulness of laparoscopy in hospitals where capsule endoscopy or double-balloon intestinal enteroscopy is not available.
