Sclerosing hemangioma is a rare, benign neoplasm of the lung, usually presented as a solitary pulmonary nodule in an otherwise asymptomatic middle-aged woman. Cytologically it shows papillary, sheet, and cyst-like arrangements representing three main histologic patterns of papillary, solid, and angiomatous ones, respectively. Herein, we report the fine needle aspiration cytology of 5 cases of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung. The most characteristic finding is cyst-like spaces Intimately related to the papillary or solid cell nests. The tumor cells are relatively monotonous round to oval, small to medium in size. They have small amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. The nuclei are uniform, round and have small but conspicuous nucleoli. The tumor cells in one of the presenting cases are large with abundant cytoplasm and show moderate nuclear pleomorphism. The nuclear chromatin, however, is fine and even without exception, even in the case showing nuclear pleomorphism. Major differential diagnoses based on the cytologic findings are well-differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, and carcinoid tumor.

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign liver tumor and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of other space occupying hepatic masses. A 54-year-old man was referred to evaluate bone metastases of lung adenocarcinoma. In our case, we thought that a focal hepatic uptake in the bore scan was a metastatic lesion, because of underlying lung adenocarcinoma. However, the findings of abdominal CT and Tc-99m RBC scan results were deemed to be characteristic of hepatic hemangioma. The biopsy of the lesion was not performed.

심장 판막엽에 발생하는 혈관종은 극히 드문 질환으로 최근까지 문헌에 보고된 것은 총 5례가 전부이며 아직까지 국내문헌에는 보고된 바가 없다. 건강하던 46세 여자가 갑자기 발생한 좌측 안면마비와 수부 감각이상을 주소로 내원하였다. 신경학적 검사에서는 이상 소견이 없었으며 심장초음파에서 승모판막 전엽에 위치한 종괴가 발견되어 종괴를 포함한 승모판막 전엽의 일부를 절제한 후 자가심낭을 이용하여 승모판막성형을 시행하였다. 병리조직 검사상 승모판막 전엽에 발생한 혈관종으로 판명되어 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

심장에 발생하는 혈관종은 매우 드문 양성 종양이다. 본원에서는 상복부 및 흉부 통증을 주고로 내원한 65세 여자 환자에서 시행한 전산화 단층 촬영상 심낭 압전과 함께 우심방 종괴를 발견하고 수술절제를 시행하여 조직 검사상 유두상 내피세포 증식증을 가지고 있는 혈관종을 발견하였다. 이에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Non-lymphoid mesenchymal neoplasms of salivary gland origin are rare, accounting for 1.4% of major salivary gland tumors. Of this group 30% were hemangiomas. Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors in children, but are rare in old ages. 90% of hemangiomas arise in the first three decades of life. Hemangiomas are classified as capillary(including juvenile type), cavernous, or mixed in type. Salivary gland hemangioma is more common in the parotid(90%) and extremely rare in submandibular gland. We present two adult patients, 69 and 60 years of age, who were referred for palpable mass in the parotid area and submandibular area, respectively. After surgical removal of the lesion, histopathologic examination showed characteristic feature of cavernous hemangioma. The rarity of such a lesion in these locations in old ages have prompted this case report.

Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors or tumor-like malformations of blood vessels or blood filled cavernous spaces. Hemangiomas of the oral cavity represents 14% of all hemangiomas. Most hemangiomas are detected by one year of age and most commonly occurred in the lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. But hemangiomas are sometimes reported in adults. We report one case of extensive hemangioma of the tongue in adult. Our case is a 48-year-old male who presented with a hemangioma occupying entirely two-third of the tongue. Treating those lesions pose a challenge to the surgeon. This paper discusses one case of extensive tongue hemangiomas treated with alcoholic sclerotherapy with satisfactory results supporting this particular approach in the management of these lesion.

A case of intractable hiccup developed by cavernous hemangioma in the medulla oblongata is reported. There have been only five previously reported cases of medullary cavernoma that triggered intractable hiccup. The patient was a 28-year-old man who was presented with intractable hiccup for 15 days. It developed suddenly, then aggravated progressively and did not respond to any types of medication. On magnetic resonance images, a well-demarcated and non-enhancing mass with hemorrhagic changes was noted in the left medulla oblongata. Intraoperative findings showed that the lesion was fully embedded within the brain stem and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. The hiccup resolved completely after the operation. Based on the presumption that the medullary cavernoma may trigger intractable hiccup by displacing or compression the hiccup arc of the dorsolateral medulla, surgical excision can eliminate the symptoms, even in the case totally buried in brainstem.

Vascular anomalies are common birthmarks. A eight-month-old male infant had a small size, bright red swelling on the lower lip since birth. On cutaneous examination there was a small brightly erythematous, lobulated, soft plaque on the left side of the lower lip of $10{\times}8{\times}5$ mm. Ultrasonogram examination revealed the lesion and confirmed the diagnosis of capillary hemangioma. The decision to initiate treatment is based on many factors, including size, location and risks and benefits of the proposal therapy. Systemic corticosteroids are decided to prevent the scarring and deforming. Prednisolone was given at a dose of 2 mg/kg/day for 2 weeks followed by tapering for 6 weeks for treatment. After eight weeks there was 80% reduction in the size of the lesion and the left lower lip almost completely cleared without intraoral bleeding. Furthermore, intervention by way of systemic steroids, laser therapy or surgical debulking is appropriate and safe in a select group of patients presenting with a proliferating hemangioma. This report describes a case that was sucessfully treated by systemic steroid therapy for hemangima in intraoral region.

Hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that grows by endothelial cell hyperplasia. It occurs most frequently in the head and neck region. Nose reconstruction is tricky because of its unique three-dimensional structure and different tissue components. We report a case of successful reconstruction of near-total nose defect using the paramedian forehead flap combined with a nasolabial flap, immediately after excision of nasal hemangioma. A 49-year-old male patient was presented with a huge mass at the nose. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed prominent vascular channels extending to the forehead and cheek. Complete resection of the mass was performed, which resulted in an eccentric defect. The right paramedian forehead flap and the left nasolabial flap were designed and transferred to the defect. Flap division was performed 1 month later. The patient is satisfied with the overall appearance and did not develop any functional deficit.

Gastric hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors that can cause severe gastrointestinal system bleeding. We presented the case of a neonate with fresh bleeding and melena from the orogastric tube and detected gastric hemangioma in esophagogastroduodenoscopic examination. Propranolol is widely used in treatment of cutaneous hemangiomas and non-gastric gastrointestinal system hemangiomas. However, the surgical approach is preferred for treating gastric hemangiomas, and there are few reports of gastric hemangiomas associated with non-surgical treatment. Gastric hemorrhage decreased with antacid and somatostatin treatment. Propranolol treatment was initiated before the surgery decision. After three weeks of treatment, we observed regression in the hemangioma with endoscopic evaluation. During the course of treatment, the patient's gastrointestinal system bleeding did not recur, and there were no side effects associated with propranolol.
