title: [The diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cavernous hemangioma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To research the clinical features of pancreatic cavernous hemangioma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospectively analyzed 3 pancreatic cavernous hemangioma cases treated in our hospital during the last 20 years, and reviewed correlative literature.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The incidence of pancreatic cavernous hemangioma was very low. It occurred more often in woman. As the early symptoms were not obvious and the imaging study were not specific, the misdiagnosis rate was high. Usually, the diagnosis was confirmed by the pathological result.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pancreatic cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign tumor of the pancreas. It's difficult to diagnosis before surgery. Surgery is the best treatment with satisfactory results, and its prognosis is fairly good.
