  • Title: Cavernous hemangioma of the uterus in a pregnant woman.
    Author: Weissman A, Talmon R, Jakobi P.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1993 May; 81(5 ( Pt 2)):825-7. PubMed ID: 8469486.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Cavernous hemangioma of the uterus is a rare but serious condition, especially during pregnancy. Most reported cases ended with hysterectomy in an attempt to control profuse bleeding, and only one of four resulted in a live birth. We describe the sonographic differential diagnosis of this condition and propose management of these patients. CASE: Cavernous hemangioma of the uterus was diagnosed sonographically at 33 weeks' gestation. Conservative management resulted in a favorable outcome for both mother and child. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound is helpful in the prenatal diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of the uterus; however, other uterine or placental abnormalities with similar sonographic appearances should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
