title: Hemangioma of the hand.
abstract: The authors describe the anatomopathological and clinical findings of 24 cases of benign hemangioma of the hand. The instrumental methods used to diagnose hemangioma are discussed, and MRI imaging is given particular importance in the preoperative evaluation of the site, size, extent, and relationship with the surrounding tissues and any multiple locations of the vascular tumor. This evaluation is essential to perform a wide resection of the tumor, which is the only means of avoiding recurrence. After an average follow-up of 33 months (14-54) recurrence was observed in 7% of the cases treated.
