The authors describe the anatomopathological and clinical findings of 24 cases of benign hemangioma of the hand. The instrumental methods used to diagnose hemangioma are discussed, and MRI imaging is given particular importance in the preoperative evaluation of the site, size, extent, and relationship with the surrounding tissues and any multiple locations of the vascular tumor. This evaluation is essential to perform a wide resection of the tumor, which is the only means of avoiding recurrence. After an average follow-up of 33 months (14-54) recurrence was observed in 7% of the cases treated.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare malignant vascular tumor with different types that affect prognosis and treatment plans, posing unique clinical challenges for diagnosis and therapy.
- The unclear causes of HEHE complicate its diagnosis, which often relies on tissue biopsy but encounters issues due to late identification and misdiagnosis, lacking specific treatment guidelines.
- Surgical options are the primary recommendation for better survival outcomes, but limited patient eligibility and donor organ shortages for liver transplants create obstacles; non-surgical treatments show promise but have limited research backing.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for saving both limb and life. We report a 4-month-old infant with CIF of the left forearm and arm which presented with a bleeding ulcer over the swelling.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), or Masson's tumor, is a benign vascular mass that is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical signs. The majority of IPEH cases involve blood vessel thrombosis. Although it is a rare tumor, IPEH requires an accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment.

Focal liver lesions are frequently encountered during imaging studies, and hemangiomas represent the most common solid liver lesion. Liver hemangiomas usually show characteristic imaging features that enable characterization without the need for biopsy or follow-up. On the other hand, there are many benign and malignant liver lesions that may show one or more imaging features resembling hemangiomas that radiologists must be aware of.

It is a rare ailment in general, and the intramuscular type is particularly uncommon and accounts for approximately 1 % of all hemangiomas. The presentation of hand hemangioma differs from other sites due to the restricted space and compression of vital structures, which frequently manifests as pain and functional impairment alongside mass.
