Intranodal Hemangioma in the Pelvic Cavity: A Case Report

Abstract

Hemangiomas are benign tumours that commonly develop in the skin, mucosal surfaces, and soft tissues. However, intranodal hemangiomas are extremely rare and are among the benign primary vascular abnormalities of the lymph nodes that include lymphangioma, hemangioendothelioma, angiomyomatous hamartoma and hemangiomas. The hemangioma in the pelvic lymph node has never been reported in the English literature. Herein, we described an extremely rare case of hemangioma in the pelvic lymph node, simulating a benign metastasizing leiomyoma.
