title: [Gemmangioma. Case report and review of the literature].
abstract: A benign gemmangioma with a diameter of 1 cm was found on the mons pubis of a 56-year-old woman. Gemmangiomas are rare tumours that occur in different locations. They have their origin in pluripotentional angioblastic cells and develop typical immature capillaries in a mesenchymal tumour stroma with few cells. The great variability and uncertain nature of the tumours are caused by the pluripotential capacity of the tumour cells. A review is presented of the cases reported in the literature since the first description by Orsós in 1932.
