“…Many gynecological and/or obstetrical complications are often associated. The gynecological complications are inter-menstrual spotting, menometrorrhagia, post-menopause metrorrhagia, post coitus metrorrhagia, infertility and dyspareunia [1][2][7][8][9]. The obstetrical complications are the premature rupture of membranes, the fetal death in the uterus, the postpartum haemorrhage and disseminated intravascular coagulation [3][4][5][11][12][13].…”

Purpose: Cavernous haemangiomas of the uterine cervix are very rare and usually harmless. It is a benign tumor that may cause gynecological obstetrical complications. Although it is a benign condition but it can have serious consequences for the mother as well as for the baby. The treatment is often surgical and diagnosis is histological. Methods and Result: we reported a case of cavernous haemangioma of the cervix in a 25-year old multiparous patient, referred to our Centre in the 33 -34 gestational weeks for premature labor with membranes rupture. A 3 cm × 6 cm soft regular purplish red mass is found in the uterine cervix. Tocolosys, prophylactic antibiotic therapy and corticotherapy for fetus pulmonary maturation were then decided after elimination of chorioamniotite signs. Caesarean has been made during labor, a week later, for tumor previa. The tumor excision has been made through the vagina after fetus extraction. The histological examination confirmed diagnosis of the cavernous haemangioma. Discussion: Further to this observation, the clinical, histological and therapeutic characteristics of the cavernous haemangioma unusual presentation were drawn up and literature enriched since this pathology is rare. Most previous reports in the literature consist of single-case histories, and the experience of individual institutions is limited. The patients dramatically present dilemmas in the disease management. This can result in uncontrolled bleeding especially during operative delivery and may require hysterectomy. To avoid unexpected bleeding from haemangioma, patients should be repeatedly examined for haemangioma of the birth canal, and special care should be taken in choosing the delivery mode.

“…Some authors describe conservative treatments such as carbon dioxide laser excision, knife excision, cryotherapy, radiotherapy, electrocauterization, internal artery ligation, uterine artery embolization, local excision, conization, and laser ablation. 2,3,12 If hemangiomas are refractory to conservative treatments, hysterectomy may be considered. 2 Radiotherapy has been suggested as a possible treatment but it would affect ovarian function as well.…”

Uterine hemangioma is a rare benign tumor usually presenting with menorrhagia or pregnancy-associated complications. Although the current literature identifies fewer than 50 cases, we in our institution identified 5 similar cases among 3700 patients undergoing total hysterectomy from January 2006 to December 2010. Adenomyosis was the most common preoperative diagnosis among our patients. Vaginal examination, uterine curettage specimens, ultrasonography, and hysterography are usually uninformative, and the definitive diagnosis relies on the final histologic examination. The differential diagnosis includes adenomatoid tumor, lymphangioma, and arteriovenous malformation. Uterine hemangiomas are classified into congenital and acquired. The former is believed to be associated with some hereditary diseases, while the latter is associated with both physical changes and hormone alteration, especially high estrogen level. The best treatment for hemangiomas is unclear. However, it is very important to obtain an accurate diagnosis to prevent overtreatment among reproductive-age women. The prognosis is excellent after hysterectomy.

“…The anatopathological study proves it benign and vascular nature. 3 We present a case of 50 years old postmenopausal woman who reported in the outpatient department with history of infrequent episodes of bleeding for the duration of the last six months; the histopathology of which proved it to be the cavernous haemangioma. This cavernous haemangioma of cervix was clinically mimicking malignancy in view of its large size and polypoidal growth.…”
