Abstract:
Hemangioma of the urinary bladder is a benign, congenital tumor that accounts for 0.6% of all primary bladder neoplasms. The most common symptom is gross hematuria. However, bladder hemangioma as a cause of massive hematuria is rare. The management of patients with hemangioma is controversial and numerous therapeutic approaches are available. Herein, we describe the use of selective arterial embolization to terminate an episode of massive hematuria in an 87-year-old woman with bladder hemangioma.
