Article Abstract
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors commonly seen in early childhood, typically occurring on the face, scalp, chest, or back. Clitoral hemangiomas, especially in adults, are exceptionally rare. This case report describes a unique presentation of clitoromegaly due to a cavernous hemangioma of the clitoris in a 39-year-old woman who presented with a progressive and worsening swelling of the clitoris for five years. A surgical excision of the cyst was performed, and a histological examination confirmed a cavernous hemangioma.
