11/28. Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland.Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare lesion and is seldom examined radiographically. In our case, on staging of gynecological carcinoma, a tumor with calcifications was found in the right adrenal region. On sonography it was of mixed echogenicity, enhanced only poorly on computed tomography and had long-standing contrast-filled lakes on angiography. Surgery revealed a cavernous hemangioma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = adrenal gland, adrenal, gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |

13/28. Intraparotid hemangioma in an adult. Case report and review of the literature.We have reported a case of a vascular malformation within the parotid gland of an adult. The first symptom was acute onset of pain and swelling, consistent, in retrospect, with a thrombophlebitis and associated vascular congestion. Although the hemangioma of the parotid is not uncommon in young children, it is rare in the adult. Several clues to the diagnosis have been reviewed, all absent in the case reported. The potential confusion with primary salivary pathology is emphasized by this report.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0029136417900514keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/28. Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland.A case report is presented of a huge cavernous adrenal hemangioma which was the second largest reported among the 17 which have appeared in the literature. With the advent of modern and sophisticated diagnostic techniques in arteriography, ultrasound, and computerized axial tomography, preoperative recognition and diagnosis should be simplified and surgical removal carried out to rule out possible malignancy, preclude traumatic rupture, or relieve symptoms of the mass lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.80524580802716keywords = adrenal gland, adrenal, gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |

16/28. Familial cerebral cavernous angioma: clinical analysis of a family and phenotypic classification.Only a few large families with cerebral cavernous angiomas (CCA) have been reported. We studied 47 members of a four-generation kindred with familial CCA. Thirteen members are affected; of these, eleven (85%) have epilepsy, five (38%) have hearing loss, three (23%) have clinically significant cerebral hemorrhages, one has dementia and progressive pseudobulbar palsy, one has a compressive myelopathy, one has asymptomatic cerebral cavernous angiomas identified by MRI, and another has an adrenal angioma found at autopsy. We developed a phenotypic classification to be used in future gene mapping studies. This classification is based on clinical symptoms, age at onset, concurrent diagnoses, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. In the context of this family, this system assigns each member a probability of affectedness that can be used for linkage analysis. We suggest that patients with epilepsy may experience transient poor seizure control due to bleeding from an angioma, and drugs that may induce bleeding from the angiomas, such as valproic acid, should be avoided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.026229040135788keywords = adrenal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/28. Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland: MR findings.Adrenal hemangioma is considered a rare tumor and is pathologically similar to hemangiomas found elsewhere in the body. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings thought to be highly suggestive of this neoplasm are presented. Correlation with pathologic findings in this case, as well as imaging and pathologic findings in other reported cases, is provided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.77901676789137keywords = adrenal gland, adrenal, gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/28. Cavernous adrenal hemangioma.Cavernous hemangiomas are unusual tumors with a propensity for skin and liver involvement and rarely involving genitourinary organs. We report an unusual case of adrenal hemangioma which was successfully treated surgically. In addition, we review the salient clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of this disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.13114520067894keywords = adrenal (Clic here for more details about this article) |
19/28. hemangioma-associated rhinophyma. Report of a case with successful treatment using carbon dioxide laser surgery.BACKGROUND. rosacea is a disorder characterized by erythematous papules, pustules, and telangiectases involving the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead that may progress to rhinophyma. Although the etiology of rosacea remains unclear, a common theme in pathogenesis is vasodilation. rosacea has been associated with both idiopathic flushing as well as that induced secondarily. OBJECTIVE. To report clinical and histologic features of rhinophyma that developed in association with a longstanding cavernous hemangioma. RESULT. The patient is a 57-year-old Hispanic man with a congenital port-wine stain that had developed into a nodular, cavernous hemangioma over the course of years. Clinically, in the site of the angioma there was marked soft-tissue overgrowth with sebaceous hyperplasia. These changes were confined to the angiomatosis areas and were sharply demarcated from the surrounding normal skin. Histologically, there was marked fibroplasia; numerous small cysts, some with focal rupture and inflammation; dilated follicular ostia; and prominent sebaceous gland hyperplasia in addition to numerous ectatic blood vessels, which were a component of the hemangioma. In contrast, normal-appearing skin adjacent to this site revealed only normal sebaceous glands and no fibroplasia. Treatment consisted of CO2 laser excision of the nodular components of the hemangioma with a tightly focused beam, followed by resculpting of the natural facial contour with laser abrasion of hypertrophic soft tissues with a broad, unfocused beam. The treated area healed well, with a skin tone of a more natural color than the original hemangioma. CONCLUSION. Our findings suggest that rhinophyma may develop secondary to the vasodilation seen in large hemangiomas and that the CO2 laser offers excellent treatment for both the vascular and stromal components of the lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0058272835801029keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
20/28. CT and MR imaging of adrenal hemangioma. A case report.PURPOSE: Cavernous hemangiomas of the adrenal gland are rare, and we here describe CT and MR features of an additional case including delayed contrast CT. RESULTS: On CT, the tumor appeared as a well-delineated mass. Fatty areas and calcifications were seen. On delayed contrast CT, a progressive enhancement from the periphery to the center of the tumor was noticed, similar to the contrast enhancement of liver hemangiomas. In T1-weighted MR images, a hypointense tumor with a central stellate area of hypointensity was found. The tumor had a predominantly peripheral contrast enhancement. CONCLUSION: CT and MR findings of adrenal hemangiomas are in some cases similar to those of liver hemangiomas. A tumor resection must be considered if the tumor changes in appearance or size.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.32589939265178keywords = adrenal gland, adrenal, gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
