Cavernous hemangioma consists mainly of congenital vascular malformations present before birth and gradually increasing in size with skeletal growth. A small number of patients with cavernous hemangioma develop scoliosis, and surgical treatment for the scoliosis in such cases has not been reported to date. Here we report a 12-year-old male...

Discussion: - a benign, vascular tumor that occurs in children, usually in limbs or trunk; - hemangioma may be congenital, appearing as solitary tumor that infiltrates local tissue & adjacent neurovascular structures; - most common form of hemangioma has infiltrative margins...

Orthopedists most commonly are called upon to treat hemangiomas of the deep soft tissues and bone. Skeletal muscle is the most common site for hemangioma of the deep soft tissue. Intramuscular hemangiomas may cause symptoms such as pain and swelling for which patients seek treatment. Hemangioma of bone may be...

We report the case of an osseous hemangioma located in the seventh cervical vertebra with reactive osteoid formation and non-typical findings in the radiological and the histopathological examination, mimicking metastasis of a malignant tumor. To our knowledge, this is the first description of such a case in the literature.
Osseous hemangioma...

Snapping hip, or coxa saltans, is defined as a clinical condition where a usually painful, audible snap occurs during hip flexion and extension. Its causes can be divided into external, internal or intra-articular origin. Accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite to successful treatment. We report a rare cause of snapping hip...

Benign tumors of the hand may be categorized using the different anatomic subunits of the hand. Each subunit has potential for disease processes and abnormal growth. Notably, the musculoskeletal, vascular, osseous, perionychial, cutaneous, and soft tissue elements can develop benign lesions that may manifest as localized masses of the hand....

Discussion: - typically seen in asymptomatic patients; - symptomatic patients over 40 years old may present following small spine fractures; - hemangiomas affect bone are rare; - these tumors may be located on the periosteal surface, within the...

Bone hemangiomas are benign, malformed vascular lesions, overall constituting less than 1% of all primary bone neoplasms. They occur most frequently in the vertebral column (30-50%) and skull (20%), whereas involvement of other sites (including the...

Hemangiomas are tumors that occur in the bones of the spine, often found in the back above and just below the waist. They are benign, which means they do not tend to get worse or spread to other tissues. Hemangiomas usually only involve one vertebra

Intramuscular hemangiomas A significant number of intramuscular hemangiomas are associated with relatively mild symptoms, such as intermittent aching or discomfort with exercise. These may require no treatment and may have no significant sequelae. Unfortunately, those symptomatic enough to indicate treatment are those most likely to be incompletely excised, and thus,...

Herrmann et al. (1969) described a syndrome consisting of the following features: (1) nearly symmetrical reductive malformations of the limbs, resembling phocomelia; (2) flexion contractures of various joints; (3) multiple minor anomalies, including capillary hemangioma of the face, forehead and ears, hypoplastic cartilages of the ears and nose, micrognathia, scanty,...
