Abstract:
Hemangiomas of the bladder are a rare but recognized cause of gross hematuria. In many cases, the tumor shows the characteristics of an iceberg, with considerable extravesical extension making endoscopic management less suitable. In spite of its benign nature, bladder hemangioma may grow continuously, and spontaneous regression is rare. They need to be adequately treated to avoid recurrent fatal hematuria and appropriately followed up to detect recurrency or persistency. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the bladder in 26-year-old woman, who presented recurrent gross hematuria and was treated with partial cystectomy.
