  • Title: Laparoscopic resection of a retroperitoneal hemangioma arising from ovarian vessels.
    Author: Choi YS, Oh HK.
    Journal: J Minim Invasive Gynecol; 2009; 16(6):778-80. PubMed ID: 19896610.
    Abstract:
    Hemangiomas are known to be common benign tumors. However, hemangiomas of female genital organs are very rare. Furthermore, a retroperitoneal hemangioma arising from ovarian vessels has never been reported. Here we report a case of a 29-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma arising from the ovarian vessels of infundibulopelvic ligament, which was treated with laparoscopic resection. The operating time was 30 minutes, and resection was carried out with minimal blood loss. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 3. Laparoscopic resection of this type of hemangioma is feasible.
