ABSTRACT Hemangiomas are benign congenital vascular tumors that commonly arise in the head and neck regions. Although they present with indolent growth and involution in most cases, they can cause facial deformities. Hemangiomas have three subtypes: capillary, cavernous, and mixed. The cavernous type is most commonly observed on the lateral wall of the nose or the inferior turbinate. This report describes a case of cavernous hemangioma diagnosed in a rare location in the left retromaxillary masticatory space in a 67-year-old […]

ABSTRACT Littoral cell angioma is an extremely rare splenic vascular tumor originating from the cells lining the splenic red pulp sinuses. Approximately 150 cases of littoral cell angioma have been reported since 1991. Its clinical manifestation is usually asymptomatic and is mostly diagnosed as an incidental finding through abdominal imaging. Herein, we present a case of littoral cell angioma in a 41-year-old woman with no previous comorbidities, which initially presented as a nonspecific splenic lesion diagnosed on imaging in the […]

ABSTRACT Facial nerve hemangioma is a rare and benign vascular tumor, and accounts for 0.7% of intratemporal tumors. We report the second case described in the literature of a facial nerve hemangioma in its tympanic segment. A 14-year-old male patient presented with a history of progressive right ear hearing loss with preserved facial mimicry. Pure tone audiometry showed a right ear moderate conductive hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an expansive lesion involving the tympanic segment of the right facial […]
