Capillary hemangioma of the sphenoid bone

Abstract

A capillary hemangioma in the body of the sphenoid bone produced unilateral optic atrophy in a 13-year-old boy. The typical reticulated appearance of an osseous hemangioma was clearly demonstrated only on direct magnification radiographs. At angiography, patchy filling occurred through vessels arising from the internal carotid and internal maxillary arteries bilaterally. The few other reports of sphenoid hemangiomas are reviewed.

A Case of Calvarial Hemangioma in Cranioplasty Site

“…Conventional angiography can play an important role in preoperative planning for small calvarial tumors, and in embolization for large calvarial tumors 1) . The angiography shows increased vascularity in the area of the lesion associated with feeder vessels, and may not always show the true nature of the lesion because the dye may be excreted through the abundant gaps in the endothelium of the cavernous hemangioma before the late pool filling has a chance to occur 19,21) . Physical examination of a hemangioma may reveal a reddish blue, firm lesion that may or may not be tender 10) .…”

Intraosseous Cavernous Hemangioma of the Frontal Bone -Case Report-

“…5) Cavernous-type PICH consists of thin-walled vascular channels lined by a single layer of flattened endothelial cells interspersed among the bony trabeculae. 13) Capillary hemangiomas, which are the other, less common form of hemangioma, consist of radially directed capillary loops lined by a single layer of cuboidal endothelial cells. Some hemangiomas are mixed types that contain elements of both cavernous and capillary patterns.…”

“…8) The parietal and frontal bones are the most common sites of involvement. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The pathogenesis is unknown, but is believed to be either congenital or related to previous trauma. 3) We describe a case of PICH of the frontal bone, involving the bony component of the frontal sinus, which was completely removed without injury to the frontal sinus mucosa.…”

Large capillary hemangioma of the temporal bone with a dural tail sign: A case report

“…Primary hemangiomas of the skull are also rare, accounting for 0.2% of all benign tumors of the skull and 0.7% of all osseous neoplasms (3). A total of three intraosseous ICH cases have been published in the English literature to date (4–6). The frontal and parietal bones have been reported to be the most common sites of involvement in the skull, while temporal bone involvement is extremely rare (7).…”
