title: [Cavernous hemangioma of urinary bladder: a case report and review of the literature].
abstract: We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the urinary bladder treated with transurethral resection (TUR). A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our department with the chief complaint of macroscopic hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a red sessile tumor 2 cm in diameter, at the internal urethral orifice. The tumor had a mostly low signal intensity, partly high signal intensity, on T1-weighted, coronal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Computed tomography and T2-weighted MR images did not delineate the tumor. TUR was performed, and the specimen was pathologically diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma of the urinary bladder. A brief description of the case is provided and the literature is reviewed.
