Abstract
Although hemangioma of extremities is not rare, there are only a few cases of hemangioma in the hands and feet. We experienced 3 cases of hemangioma with severe pain in hands and a foot. The first case was a 12-year-old girl, who had pain and swelling in the right index finger; a tumor lesion was depicted in MRI. MRI showed a small mass on the ulnar side of the proximal phalanx which was iso-intensity with T1WI and high-intensity with T2WI. The resected tumor was cavernous hemangioma. The second case was a 31-year-old woman, who had pain and swelling in the right index finger, (cavernous hemangioma). The third case was a 19-year-old man, who had severe pain on the bottom of his right foot, and walked with a limp. Glomus tumor was suspected preoperatively, however it was hemangioma. None of the patients had pain after resection. It is necessary to suspect hemangioma in the cases with continuous pain, even if no tumor is observed in the appearance.
