We call hemangiomatosis if hemangioma arises multifocally from single or multiple organs. It develops predominantly on liver, and there are just few cases of hemangiomatosis from greater omentum and mesentery. Herein, we present the imaging and histopathological findings including CT and MRI images of a 62-year-old male patient with a hemangiomatosis on liver, greater omentum and mesentery.

Gastroduodenal intussusception, an invagination of a part of the gastric wall through the pyloric canal into the duodenum is a rare condition. Gastroduodenal intussusception is caused by a mobile usually benign gastric tumor. However, gastroduodenal intussusception by gastric submucosal hemangiomatosis is not documented. We have managed a case of gastric submucosal tumor leading to gastroduodenal intussusception in 2 years and 10 months old boy. The tumor was $10{\times}5{\times}3cm$ in size in posterior wall of gastric antrum. Laparotomy, manual reduction of the intussusception, and wedge resection of posterior gastric wall including the tumor were performed. Pathologic diagnosis was a submucosal hemangiomatosis.

Gastroduodenal intussusception is an invagination of part of the stomach through the pylorus and into the duodenum for a varying distance. The lead point of the intussusception is usually a benign gastric tumor such as gastric adenoma. We report a case of gastroduodenal intussusception in a 33-month-old boy presented with nonbilious vomiting and abdominal pain. Laparotomy revealed a gastroduodenal intussusception. After reduction and gastrostomy, a mass measuring $15{\times}5\;cm$ in size, was found at the leading point of the intussusceptum. The mass was resected, and pathological diagnosis showed a gastric hemangiomatosis.

Pulmonary hemangiomatosis is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by diffuse proliferating microvessels that infiltrate not only the lung but also all of the thoracic tissues. The disease is rapidly progressive and usually results in death due to complications of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hemorrhage. There are two histologic patterns of pulmonary hemangiomatosis : capillary and cavernous. We describe a 21-year-old man with cavernous-type pulmonary hemangiomatosis presented with right side shoulder pain. He was treated with percutaneous transarterial embolization and then followed with interferon alfa-2a for one year with favorable clinical and radiological response.

Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) is a rare disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by nodules composed of infiltrating capillary blood vessels. Herein, we describe a case of a PCH-like lesion that was detected by chest computed tomography. Transthoracic needle aspiration resulted in life-threatening hemorrhage. The patient was followed for seven years. He remained in good health and a follow up image showed little interval change.

Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of infancy. Fifteen to 30% of these patients have multiple hemangiomas. Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a disease that often has a fatal outcome if left untreated, and is characterized by multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas. Corticosteroids are the commonly accepted first line treatment, but if no effect is seen, further treatment is required such as interferon, surgical excision, embolization and radiotherapy. Interferon is effective, but the neurologic sequela including spastic diplegia can be a complication. We experienced a case of DHN in a neonate. In this case, the baby presented with multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) that included thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulophthy. The baby was successfully treated with vincristine after the failure of steroid therapy.
