We report a case of a bladder hemangioma in a pediatric patient. A 2-year-old Caucasian female presented with intermittent gross hematuria and protrusion of beefy red tissue near the vaginal introitus when straining. On cystoscopy, we discovered a wide-based vermiform mass. Transurethral resection of the bladder mass was performed. Based on the histological findings of the tissue resected, a diagnosis of capillary hemangioma of the bladder was made. Despite their rarity, bladder hemangiomas should be considered in the differential in children with gross hematuria.

Retroperitoneal Capillary Hemangioma Mimicking Paraganglioma on 18F-AlF-NOTA-Octreotide PET/CT.

Capillary hemangiomas are commonly encountered superficially in the cutaneous, subcutaneous, or mucosal tissues during childhood and early adulthood, but retroperitoneal capillary hemangioma is a rare occurrence. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with incidentally detected capillary hemangioma in the retroperitoneum initially presumed to be paraganglioma based on 18F-AlF-NOTA-Octreotide PET/CT findings. Contrast-enhanced MRI revealed a hypervascular mass in the retroperitoneum.

Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome: clinical features, genetic foundations, and management strategies.

Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL) is a rare, hereditary disorder characterized by the development of multiple tumors and cysts in various parts of the body due to mutations in the VHL gene on chromosome 3p25-26. Patients with VHL are at increased risk for hemangioblastomas of the brain, spinal cord, and retina, renal cell carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and endolymphatic sac tumors. Clinical manifestations vary widely, and early diagnosis through genetic testing and regular surveillance is crucial for effective management.

Rapidly growing lesions always require careful examination. Due to pregnancy, certain pre-existing lesions may become visible or symptomatic due to accelerated growth and present a challenging differential diagnosis. It is essential to investigate these lesions carefully to establish an accurate diagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), typically a benign vasoproliferative lesion of the skin or mucosal surfaces, is exceptionally rare in the trachea. Now, we present the second reported case of LCH found in the right intermediate bronchus, characterized by calcification within the lesion and cystic changes. These distinctive features should alert clinicians to consider LCH in the differential diagnosis of other benign vascular tumors and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, particularly when calcified and cystic lesions are observed.
