Abstract:

Urinary bladder hemangiomas are rare, accounting for 0.6% of the urinary bladder tumors. Hemangioma is considered aris-ing from embryonic stem cells of an angioblastic lineage. A 3-year old boy presented with hematuria. He had past operative history of excision of extensive lymphatic malformation involving retroperitoneum, pelvis and upper thigh. Computed tomog-raphy scan of abdomen and pelvis with contrast revealed a large soft tissue mass arising from the dome of the bladder. Par-tial cystectomy was done. Histopathology confirmed the mass as cavernous hemangioma of urinary bladder.
