title: Benign cavernous hemangioma of the ankle.
abstract: Cavernous hemangiomas are generally benign and may consist of new formations of blood vessels or may result from proliferation of the wall of a blood vessel. They are believed to be congenital anomalies of endothelial origin, and the most common symptoms are the presence of a palpable mass and local edema.
