A 60-year-old woman had a small hepatic tumor in the right lobe detected by CT scan. Angiography showed a hypervascular lesion with shunting of dense contrast material into portal vein radicles. Resected specimen revealed a cavernous hemangioma. The angiographic differentiation between small hemangiomas and malignant hypervascular neoplasms of the liver can be difficult.

Unlabelled: Cavernous hemangiomas are venous malformations characterized by interconnected channels of abnormally dilated blood vessels having low flow of blood. Whilst venous malformations most commonly affect the head and neck region, isolated cavernous hemangiomas of the palatine tonsils are extremely rare; with only 4 cases being reported in the English Literature. We report a case of a 43-year-old female who was referred to us for the evaluation and management of a right tonsillar swelling.

Department of Surgery, University of Baghdad, College of Medicine, Baghdad, Iraq.

Background: With its vital ocular and adnexal structures, the orbit may be affected by a wide array of neoplasms, including primary, secondary, and metastatic neoplasms. These lesions pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in view of complex orbital anatomy and overlapping clinical presentations. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiology, clinical features, refractive impacts, and management outcomes of orbital tumors, providing insights to optimize diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Previously, we showed that propranolol reduces experimental murine cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) and prevents embryonic caudal venous plexus (CVP) lesions in zebrafish that follow mosaic inactivation of (Li et al., 2021). Because morpholino silencing of the β1 adrenergic receptor () prevents the embryonic CVP lesion, we proposed that plays a role in CCM pathogenesis.
