“…Some investigators have argued against endoscopic biopsy when the diagnosis of hemangioma is suspected because of concern for intractable bleeding. In our experience and that of others,6, 8, 11, 13, 17, 24, 26, 27, 34, 39 biopsy and fulguration of small hemangiomas does not create significant bleeding and appears to treat small lesions adequately, especially among adult patients without systemic/generalized involvement by hemangioma. Imaging studies, such as excretory urography (intravenous pyelogram), pelvic arteriography, technetium 99 albumin scan, ultrasonography, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging, are helpful in defining the extent and location of the tumor.…”

BACKGROUND Hemangioma of the urinary bladder is rare and the long term outcome of patients is unknown. METHODS The authors evaluated the clinical and pathologic findings in 19 patients with a vesical hemangioma. All patients were treated at the Mayo Clinic between 1932–1998 and had histologic confirmation of the diagnosis. Hemangioma was classified into cavernous, capillary, or arteriovenous types based on conventional criteria from other sites. Clinical information was obtained from chart review. The mean follow‐up of the patients was 6.9 years (range, 0.3–25 years). RESULTS The mean patient age at the time of diagnosis was 58 years (range, 19–76 years) and the male‐to‐female ratio was 3.7:1. Patients typically presented with macroscopic hematuria and endoscopic findings usually were nonspecific. The diagnosis of hemangioma was suspected in 3 patients (16%) prior to biopsy. There was a predilection for the posterior and lateral walls and the tumor usually was small (range, 0.2–3 cm; median, 0.7 cm) and solitary. The histologic types of hemangioma were cavernous (15 cases), capillary (2 cases), and arteriovenous (2 cases). All patients were treated with biopsy with or without fulguration, except for one patient who was treated with a partial cystectomy. No patients developed a recurrence during a mean follow‐up of 6.9 years. CONCLUSIONS Patients with hemangioma of the urinary bladder have a favorable outcome.

“…Isolated case reports have appeared since then (Table 2). 2, 4–41 Hemangioma of the urinary bladder occurs in all age groups and usually is observed in patients age < 30 years, with a slight male predominance. The most common symptom is macroscopic hematuria; other symptoms include irritative voiding symptoms and abdominal pain.…”

“…Transurethral resection and fulguration are indicated in small lesions; however, Hemangioma of the Bladder Urol Int 1997:59:125-128 such management may lead to uncontrollable bleeding and recurrence. Radiotherapy has been used successfully in a few cases [16]. Smith and Dixon [10] reported they had successfully controlled hemorrhagic complications of bladder hemangiomas with endoscopic neodymium: YAG laser irradiation.…”
