We present a rare case of multiple cavernous hemangiomas. A 19-year-old girl was seen with dyspnea and fatigue. Thoracic computed tomography showed multiple nodule shadows scattered in the lung. Lung biopsy was carried out. Postoperative histopathologic study identified the nodules as pulmonary cavernous hemangiomas.

Intrarenal hemangiomas lack concise clinicopathologic information, due to the predominance of single case reports and inclusion of other vascular neoplasms and hemangiomas of perirenal, hilar, and renal vein origin. Herein, in this multi-institutional study we evaluate clinicopathologic features of 39 intrarenal hemangiomas. The median age was 62 years (range = 27-94 years; 2:1 male to female ratio), with left-sided predominance (left = 21, right = 13; one case was bilateral).

Cavernous hemangiomas of the external auditory canal simultaneously affecting the tympanic membrane are extremely rare. Endoscopic otosurgery has been successfully used for resecting various ear lesions because of its wider surgical field of view and minimal trauma. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a 6-month history of left ear congestion.

Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a type of cerebrovascular abnormality in the central nervous system linked to both germline and somatic genetic mutations. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have shown that various drugs can effectively reduce the burden of CCM lesions. Despite significant progress, the mechanisms driving CCM remain incompletely understood, and to date, no drugs have been developed that can cure or prevent CCM.

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are angiographically occult vascular lesions that present with a variety of neurological symptoms, including seizures, features of raised intracranial pressure and focal neurological deficits. In extremely rare circumstances, CCMs have presented with concomitant brain abscess formation. To date, five cases have previously been reported, the majority of which have affected patients aged 16 years or older.

Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by vascular malformations, bone abnormalities, and limb overgrowth. The genetic basis of KTS is not fully understood, and the diagnosis relies on clinical features. Its clinical spectrum includes several neurosurgical diagnoses, such as cavernous hemangiomas, arteriovenous fistulas, and Chiari I malformation.
