Primary Ovarian Hemangioma: Case Report and Review of LiteratureHatice Bayramoğlu1, Tayfun Güngör2, Murat Öz2, Nasuh U. Doğan2, Hüseyin Reyhan2, Mustafa Beşli21Pathology Department, Dr. Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Educational and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.2Gynecologic Oncology Department, Dr. Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Educational and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. Hemangiomas are benign and rare tumors of female genital tract and most of which are asymptomatic. A 55-year-old woman was referred to our department due to postmenopausal bleeding with 3 cm diameter adnexial mass. Transvaginal sonography revealed a 3-cm right ovarian semicystic mass with a low-resistant vascular flow pattern in the Doppler examination, supporting malignant neoplasia of the ovary. Serum Ca-125 levels of the patient were inconclusive. The pathology result of the mass was primary ovarian hemangioma, a benign vascular tumor after the surgery. Primary ovarian hemangiomas are extremely rare conditions. Some of the ovarian hemangiomas are presented as an ovarian mass with ascites and serum Ca-125 elevation, mimicking advanced stage ovarian cancer. Frozen sections may not always give a definitive histologic behavior of the mass. Thus, unnecessary radical surgery may be performed for benign ovarian vascular neoplasm.
