Published: December 2012

Introduction. Sinusoidal hemangioma is a rare variant of acquired cavernous hemangioma predominantly occurring in females. Very few case reports have been described in the literature. Case Report. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman who noticed a slowly growing, cutaneous nodule on the left breast. Local excision of the lesion was performed and histology allowed to find a sinusoidal hemangioma. No recurrence was noticed. Conclusion. The very few reports of such a lesion in the literature reflect either rarity of such lesions or unfamiliarity of this subset among the pathologists.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, with anastomosing hemangioma (AH) being a specific subtype that mimics more serious conditions like angiosarcoma; there are fewer than 300 reported cases of renal hemangiomas.
  • A case study of a 28-year-old male revealed a left renal mass identified during tests for abdominal pain, with subsequent imaging and surgery confirming the diagnosis of AH through histopathological analysis and specific immunohistochemical markers.
  • Accurate diagnosis of AH is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatment and complications, highlighting the need for greater awareness and reporting in the medical community to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient management.

Article Synopsis
  • Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a rare vascular lesion that mainly affects adults, usually developing after trauma, with no significant gender preference.
  • The review analyzes THH's characteristics, differentiating it from similar conditions like Kaposi's sarcoma and retiform hemangioendothelioma.
  • Clinically, THH appears as painless lesions with a distinctive target-like look; histologically, it shows specific vascular features and can be identified with immunohistochemical markers.

Background: Cavernous hemangiomas are vascular malformations formed by groups of dilated sinusoids, organized in channels with a single layer of endothelium. Cavernous hemangiomas represent only 3% of all intradural lesions, and of these 5-12 % correspond to spinal cord lesions and those of the cauda equina are rare.

Clinic Case: A 57 years-old male patient is presented , without history of radiotherapy, who showed low back pain and contracture of the dorsal and paraspinal muscle during 6 months, evaluated in another hospital and diagnosed with a lumbar disc herniation, he was managed with analgesics and physiotherapy for two months, however the theraphy failed, the symptoms worsened and dysesthesias appeared in the gluteal and perianal region, with reduction of strength in both legs with predominance in the left leg, as well bladder sphincter dysfunction .

Intravascular lobular capillary hemangioma (ILCH), also known as intravenous pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular lesion with a distinctive lobular arrangement of capillaries. It is typically confined to the head, neck, and upper extremities, and its occurrence in the testicular region is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case of a 68-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with a testicular tumor based on imaging studies but was later found to have an ILCH located in the epididymis.
