Hemangiomas are common tumors that exhibit a rapid increase in the number of blood vessels when analyzed microscopically. Hemangiomas are frequently seen since the birth of the infant and possibly ...enlarge with age. They most likely have developmental rather than malignant roots. Oral hemangiomas are still clinically relevant to the specialist dentist and will require proper clinical treatment regardless of their benign origin and behavior. Nowadays, physical examination, auxiliary inspection, and clinical history serve as the main pillars of diagnosis. Priority should be given in hemangioma treatment to functional harm brought on by the treatment, which may lead to a worsening of the patient's current condition and may pose a threat to the patient's life. This shows that early diagnosis, identification, and referral to specialists are critical steps in reducing associated problems and improving prognosis. Surgery and other forms of treatment have a greater rate of morbidity, recurrence, and complications and are not always effective. Oral propranolol is still a widely used first-line medication. Oral propranolol is still a widely used first-line medication, nevertheless. Together with a review of related literature, the main focus of this study will be on the recent changes and modifications being made to ensure accurate diagnosis.
The cervix of the uterus is a rare site for cavernous hemangiomas. Cervical hemangiomas are slow‐growing tumors with characteristic histological findings, including dilated vessels with increased ...endothelial cells. Although their pathophysiology remains unclear, hormones are believed to play an important role in the development of these vascular tumors. They may be asymptomatic due to their small size, but they can cause gynecological and obstetrical complications, including abnormal uterine bleeding and impaired fertility. Due to their small size, conservative treatment is the first line of management. Hysterectomy is considered for refractory cases or for patients who are not of childbearing age. In this study, firstly, we presented a case of a 60‐year‐old postmenopausal female without any gynecological‐related signs or symptoms with a polypoid nodule hanging over the anterior cervical wall through its stalk. The surgical biopsy revealed no signs of neoplastic changes, with the only notable finding being a benign vascular lesion representing a cavernous hemangiomatous cervical polyp. The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy and she is currently healthy without any further abnormal findings. Additionally, we provided a comprehensive review of 137 cases in the literature since 1883, detailing their characteristics, signs and symptoms, and pathology.
Synopsis
Cervical hemangiomas are rare tumors, mostly found incidentally, and some present symptomatically, especially with abnormal uterine bleeding. We presented the 138th case in the literature.
