title: Coiling the arterial feeder: report on a successfully treated extensive hemangioma of the periprostatic venous plexus and the bladder neck.
abstract: Extensive hemangioma of the prostate and the bladder is rare. In most cases, patients present for hematuria, hematospermia, or lower urinary tract symptoms. Confined lesions treatable with transurethral resection are most common but large hemangiomas requiring partial cystectomy are reported as well. Endoscopic or open surgery implies the risk for postoperative functional disability that is not reasonable for young patients. We present a case of an extensive symptomatic hemangioma of the periprostatic venous plexus and the bladder neck in a 46-year-old man, which was treated by superselective coiling of the arterial feeder with no recurrence at 6-month follow-up.
