title: Vascular tumors: rare neoplasms of the female genital tract.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Vascular tumors of the genital tract are rare entities. METHOD-RESULTS: We conducted a retrospective study of such tumors during the period January 1993 up to December 2007. During this period we identified thirteen patients with vascular tumors of the female genital tract. Their age ranged from 28 up to 76 years. More specifically, we identified one patient with angiomyxoma, five patients with angiokeratoma, one patient with vascular malformation, two with cervical hemangioma, two with hemangioma of the uterus and two with ovarian hemangioma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our 15-year-old experience on the field is presented through description and images of such tumors.
