[Cavernous hemangioma of the bladder].

OBJECTIVE: Certain pathologic entities should be ruled out in the diagnostic work up of hematuria, because they are so rare that if they would not share diagnostic tests with more frequent urological diseases they could be missed. The cavernous haemangioma of the bladder is one of them. METHODS: We report the case of a male patient presenting with rectal bleeding and hematuria with the diagnosis of rectal-vesical cavernous haemangioma. RESULTS: After 8 years of follow-up he did not need surgical treatment, only blood transfusions at the time of diagnosis. He has self limited episodes of hematuria not requiring aggressive therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The cavernous haemangioma of the bladder is a rare disease presenting as bleeding bladder excrecent lesions that do not require surgery as first treatment option if the bleeding is not life-threatening.

Congenital cavernous angioma of the temporal bone: case report.

BACKGROUND: Congenital cavernous angioma is a very rare tumor that occurs in young adolescents. We describe a rare case of congenital cavernous angioma of the temporal bone in a neonate. Ultrasonography (US) and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were helpful in its diagnosis. CASE DESCRIPTION: US and MRI of the fetus in the 32nd week of gestation revealed a large extra-axial tumor with intra- and extracranial extension. After the birth, US and dynamic MRI studies were performed in addition to conventional CT and MRI. These findings were compatible with cavernous angioma. The mass was totally removed on the fourth day of life and was found at surgery to originate from the skull. Histopathological diagnosis was cavernous angioma. The usefulness of US and dynamic MRI are also discussed. CONCLUSION: US and dynamic MRI are useful, less invasive techniques for diagnosing this rare type of tumor. They provide useful information to differentiate calvarial mass lesions in neonates.
