Intraosseous cavernous hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular tumor. A 21-year-old man presented with a small painless swelling of the left foot's long toe. X-ray examination showed an outgrowing bony lesion that has cortical continuity in the tip of the long toe's distal phalanx lateral aspect. Preoperative examination yielded no final diagnosis. En bloc resection was performed. The histological diagnosis was intraosseous cavernous hemangioma. To the best of our knowledge, this case is a first report of primary intraosseous cavernous hemangioma of the toe.

Intraosseous hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors which are more commonly seen in the vertebrae and skull but they rare in the ribs. Rib hemangiomas can mimic malignant rib lesions and definitive clinical and imaging diagnosis might be difficult and pathological confirmation will be required. Here we report a rib hemangioma in a 49-year-old male presented with painless chest wall swelling of 9 years duration, on chest CT scan the lesion showed dense radiating type calcification with cortical destruction.

We present a novel case of intraosseous venous malformation of the frontal bone with dehiscence of the inner table of the frontal calvarium and extension into the frontal sinus and orbit. This case report discusses the surgical management of this intraosseous lesion achieved with a multidisciplinary approach involving otolaryngology and neurosurgical teams. We also present a review of the literature of the pathophysiology of venous malformations, the imaging modalities that aid in diagnosis of these lesions and the management options.

Article Synopsis
  • The case study discusses a 57-year-old woman with diplopia and a mass lesion in the clivus that resembled a chordoma, which is a type of tumor.
  • Imaging tests revealed a complex lesion that changed over a decade, leading to a preoperative diagnosis of chordoma or chondroma.
  • Ultimately, the tumor was surgically removed and diagnosed as a primary intraosseous cavernous hemangioma, emphasizing the challenges in diagnosing such lesions before surgery.

Intraosseous vascular pathology of the turbinates is extremely rare in the practice of an otorhinolaryngologist and can be presented in various histopathological variants. The article presents two clinical cases in which an intraosseous cavernous hemangioma was hidden under the mask of a hypertrophied middle turbinate. The final diagnosis was established by the results of histological examination.
