Abstract:
The majority of hemangiomas are small, benign vascular tumors. They can regress spontaneously as a result of fibrosclerosis, suggesting a conservative approach whenever possible. They require little, if any, treatment and are easy to differentiate from malignant tumors clinically and radiologically, and there is no evidence that hemangiomas ever become malignant. We report a case of a 54-year old man with extravesical cavernous hemangioma who was diagnosed with a malignant tumor preoperatively.
