Abstract

Hemangiomas of ovary are extremely rare tumors, although ovaries have a very rich vasculature. There are only approximately 50 cases of ovarian hemangioma reported in the literature. The most of ovarian hemangiomas are the cavernous type and may present either as isolated unilateral ovarian masses, which are discovered incidentally, or together with diffuse abdominopelvic hemangiomatosis. We report a case of a ovarian hemangioma discovered incidentally in a 35-year-old woman with brief review on this topic.

Key Words: Hemangioma, Ovary
