“…In contrast, smaller AH lesions may not be visible (3). A similar heterogeneous appearance with peripheral enhancement was demonstrated in CT of the adrenal gland (4). AH in the urinary bladder was observed as a sharply defined, small mass with marked homogeneous enhancement (5).…”

“…AH has been more commonly found in the genitourinary system, particularly in kidneys (2, 3, 6, 7). Rare cases of AH in other locations, including the testes, ovaries, thigh, abdominal wall, adrenal gland, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary bladder have been reported (2)(3)(4)(5). Generally, most renal lesions occur unilaterally, and range in size from 0.6 to 5.0 cm (average: 2.1 cm) (6).…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, AH involving the para-aortic region has not been reported. Reported cases of AH involving less common sites described CT findings, but did not focus on these imaging findings (4)(5)(6). Thus, we present CT findings of AH in the para-aortic region with a brief review of the relevant literature.…”

“…Anastomosing hemangioma (AH) is a subtype of capillary hemangioma that is characterized histologically by an anastomosing pattern of capillary sized vascular channels that are reminiscent of splenic sinusoids (2). Although AH is known to have a predilection for the kidney, it can also sporadically involve the ovary, liver, gastrointestinal tract, adrenal gland and urinary bladder (3)(4)(5)(6). To the best of our knowledge, AH involving the para-aortic region has not been reported.…”

“…In 2009, Montgomery and Epstein (1) described for the first time a novel subtype of benign vascular lesion, which was termed an 'anastomosing hemangioma' (AH), of the genitourinary tract (kidney and testis). Subsequently, several cases of AH were reported in the adrenal gland, ovary, liver and gastrointestinal tract (2)(3)(4). Although AH occurs relatively infrequently, an incidence of AH in the bladder has arisen during our medical researches.…”

Abstract.A rare neoplasm, termed 'anastomosing hemangioma' (AH), has been previously described in the genitourinary tract. To date, 29 cases of AH have been reported in the literature, and the case reported in the present study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first AH described in the urinary bladder. It is essential to distinguish AH from malignant vascular tumors due to the different treatments required and the prognosis. The patient in this case study was asymptomatic, with a neoplasm of ~1 cm within the right wall of the bladder. Pathologically, the lesion was predominantly composed of a structure comprising a small vascular cavity and irregularly fenestrated anastomosing vascular channels, with no clear atypia of the endothelial cells.

Introduction: Anastomosing hemangioma in the adrenal area is extremely rare. We report a large anastomosing hemangioma in the adrenal area that underwent robotassisted adrenalectomy. Case presentation: A 49-year-old man with left back pain underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that revealed a tumor in the left adrenal area; it was diagnosed as nonfunctional endocrinologically. However, the major axis of the tumor increased from 64 to 72 mm during the 4-month period. Robot-assisted left adrenalectomy was performed. Although the large tumor adhered to the surrounding tissues, it was safely resected by the effective use of an extra robotic arm. An anastomosing hemangioma was diagnosed since there were no malignant findings. Conclusion: Robotic surgical systems may serve as an effective treatment option for large adrenal tumors, and our report is the first robot-assisted adrenalectomy performed on an anastomosing hemangioma.
