“…There have been few case reports that describe isolated involvement of the uterus in pregnant women and highlight the importance of uterine cavernous hemangioma as a rare but important cause of refractory uterine bleeding at the time of delivery [4,5]. Uncommonly, they may be localized to a portion of the uterus and present in a non-pregnant woman with either uncontrolled vaginal bleeding [4][5][6], menorrhagia (as in our case), or unremitting pelvic pain. Recent literature documents only three published cases of cavernous hemangioma in non-pregnant women.…”

Abstract:Cavernous hemangiomas of the uterus are extremely rare, benign lesions, associated with numerous obstetrics and gynaecological complications. A survey of the literature identified fewer than 50 cases of hemangioma of the uterus. Here, we present a rare case of a cavernous hemangioma in a 42 years non-pregnant woman with history of heavy menstrual bleeding refractory to medical management.

ABSTRACT. Cavernous haemangioma is a very rare vascular malformation of the uterus. We describe the CT and MRI findings of a cavernous haemangioma in an 81-year-old female with recurrent menorrhagia. CT showed a well-marginated mass with multifocal calcifications and extensive haemorrhage, as well as necrosis in the anterior wall of the uterus. MRI revealed heterogeneous low-to high-signal intensities of the mass on T 1 and T 2 weighted images as well as portions with poor enhancement of the mass on contrast-enhanced T 1 weighted images. Although rare, cavernous haemangioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a calcified haemorrhagic necrotic uterine mass in post-menopausal women.

The cervix of the uterus is a rare site for cavernous hemangiomas. Cervical hemangiomas are slow‐growing tumors with characteristic histological findings, including dilated vessels with increased endothelial cells. Although their pathophysiology remains unclear, hormones are believed to play an important role in the development of these vascular tumors. They may be asymptomatic due to their small size, but they can cause gynecological and obstetrical complications, including abnormal uterine bleeding and impaired fertility. Due to their small size, conservative treatment is the first line of management. Hysterectomy is considered for refractory cases or for patients who are not of childbearing age. In this study, firstly, we presented a case of a 60‐year‐old postmenopausal female without any gynecological‐related signs or symptoms with a polypoid nodule hanging over the anterior cervical wall through its stalk. The surgical biopsy revealed no signs of neoplastic changes, with the only notable finding being a benign vascular lesion representing a cavernous hemangiomatous cervical polyp. The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy and she is currently healthy without any further abnormal findings. Additionally, we provided a comprehensive review of 137 cases in the literature since 1883, detailing their characteristics, signs and symptoms, and pathology.

Cavernous hemangiomatous polyp: an unusual case of perimenopausal bleeding

Abstract: Cavernous hemangioma can be a rare cause of perimenopausal bleeding. The same found in a polyp may be treated successfully by polypectomy.
