“…1 Hemangiomas of the renal pelvis, adrenal gland, scrotum, penis, prepuce, spermatic cord, kidney, and bladder have been reported in Korea. [4][5][6][7] Ureteral hemangiomas are a very rare benign ureteral tumor, and only 8 cases have been reported in the world; the ureteral hemangioma reported here is the first case reported in Korea. [1][2][3] Clinically, patients usually presented with hematuria due to thrombus, infarction, and angiogenesis by erosion of the urothelium.…”

“…In this circumstance, ureteroscopy is considered to be a useful diagnostic test. 4,5,8 Under ureteroscopic examination, ureteral hemangiomas appear as a polypoid mass with intact urothelium existing in the ureteral lumen or protruding to the bladder by peristaltic movement of the ureter. Urine cytology is the most important diagnostic test to rule out a malignant ureteral tumor, and the test should be performed when a ureteral tumor is suspected.…”

Ureteral cavernous hemangiomas are an extremely rare, benign tumor. Most cavernous hemangiomas of ureter are diagnosed postoperatively by pathologic examination. A 39-year-old female patient presented with a bladder mass found incidentally by abdominal ultrasound. The patient underwent computed tomography, urine cytology, and cystoscopy. Cystoscopy showed 2 masses protruding from the right ureteral orifice. The ureteral mass was resected endoscopically. The patient was finally diagnosed with cavernous hemangioma in the right ureter. Here we report this case of a ureteral cavernous hemangioma and review the literature. CASE REPORTA 39-year-old woman was referred with a 1.3x1.0 cm hyperechoic mass in the posterior bladder wall detected by abdominal ultrasonography during a regular medical checkup. Her vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature were normal, and there were no abnormal findings in blood tests, urinalysis, and urine cytology. A computed tomography
