Abstract
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors. They are the prerogative of the liver and skin. And genitourinary localizations are rare and have only been rarely reported in the prostat, bladder, ureter or the perineum. In the light of published cases, urethral hemangiomas are mostly found in males. Few cases of hemangioma in the female urethra were reported. We report a cavernous hemangioma of the urethra in a 61 years old patient who presented bleeding from the urethra and micturition disorders. Physical examination revealed a tumor 3 cm x 2 polyploid arising from the terminal urethra (urethral hemangioma). We performed surgical resection of the tumor, along with bladder drainage. The postoperative course was simple. We update through a review of the literature aspects of the diagnostic and therapeutic care of the urethral hemangioma.
Highlights
We report a cavernous hemangioma of urethra in a 61 years old woman in view of its rarity
Histopathological study reported a urethral hemangioma with large venous vessels dilated between a lax stroma without atypia cytonucléaire
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can occur at any age but it seems to be a male predominance [2]
Summary
They are the prerogative of the liver and skin. We report a cavernous hemangioma of urethra in a 61 years old woman in view of its rarity. From this observation, we present the clinical and pathological aspects and report our therapeutic strategy. The urethrocystoscopy showed that the tumor was prolonged until the first third of the urethra and bleeding. Histopathological study reported a urethral hemangioma with large venous vessels dilated between a lax stroma without atypia cytonucléaire. The vessels are filled with red blood cells. They are sometimes pre thrombosis evidenced by the existence of fibrin deposits. Between vessels, are some beams regular smooth muscle cells.The postoperative course was simple and to this day there has been no recurrence
