title: Hemangioma of the bladder with extravesical extension.
abstract: Bladder hemangioma is a rare benign tumor occurring in any age group. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman having a bladder hemangioma. On cystoscopic examination no typical features of the bladder hemangioma were found. Biopsy of the lesion revealed a cavernous hemangioma. A partial cystectomy was performed for the control of macroscopic hematuria.
