Giant hemangioma in the buttock. A case report

Abstract

We treated a case of giant cavernous hemangioma which had been developing in the subcutaneous and intramuscular tissue of the buttock for 30 years. The patient was a 43-year-old male with a painless tumor in his left buttock. The tumor was 14×14cm in size without tenderness but with brownish skin color and local heat. Roentgenograms revealed the presence of several phlebolithes. Angiogram and CT scan showed the visual situation of the tumor Because of these findings, surgical excision of the tumor, which existed in the subcutaneous tissue, was done. Histological studies showed “cavernous hemangioma”.
