Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumours of mesodermal origin. Even though various localizations of hemangioma have been described in the literature, its occurrence in the greater omentum is very rare. Only symptomatic hemangiomas are indicated for surgical treatment. There are case reports presenting resection or surgical removal of the greater omentum with hemangioma because of mechanical syndrome, consumption coagulopathy, bleeding, infection or suspicion of a malignancy. This article presents a case report of a patient operated on for a suspicion of carcinomatosis of the greater omentum. Histological examination found hemangiomatosis in the resected greater omentum.

Abstract Background Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are composed of mature ganglion cells and Schwann cells with a fibrous stroma; GNs are most often observed in children and young adults. The majority of non-cranial GNs are located in the retroperitoneum and posterior mediastinum. Other reported rare sites include the adrenal gland, small intestine, colon and urinary bladder. However, para-testicular GNs are even more rare. Case presentation Herein, we report the case of a patient with concurrent adrenal GN and thyroid papillary carcinoma who developed paratesticular GN eighteen years later. Conclusions We conclude that there is an association among papillary thyroid carcinoma, GN and MEN2 syndromes. This case report may provide important information for the proposed association. However, further studies are required.

ABSTRACT Cavernous hemangiomas are relatively rare vascular malformations especially in an adult. The childhood hemangioma generally regresses spontaneously. We present the case report of a 52-year-old male patient, who had a hemangioma from the childhood and it had grown to such a large size so as to cause extreme cosmetic deformity for the patient. The long standing duration of almost 45 years and the extremely large size of the hemangioma make it a very rare case. How to cite this article Gupta N, Verma H.

Of 22 patients with symptomatic giant liver hemangiomas referred for embolization, two females (52 and 74 years) had Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS). Hematocrit values were observed to be 33% and 29%, platelets 4000 and 5400/mm3, and fibrinogen 98 and 77 mg/dl, respectively. Lesion diameters were 7 and 14 cm, respectively. Hepatic angiography revealed excessive vascular lakes typical of cavernous hemangiomas. Microspheres of 40–300 µm were superselectively injected under fluoroscopic guidance until cessation of flow. Coil packing of the feeding hepatic artery was additionally used in one patient. The procedure was uneventful in both. Partial restoration of platelet count was observed immediately; fibrinogen levels and platelets were restored completely in one patient and partially in the other, without remissions at 2-year follow-up.
