- Abstract
Key Clinical Message: Cavernous hemangiomas are rare and have various non‐specific clinical presentations, such as menorrhagia. It can mimic different diseases such as endometrial polyps. Pathologists and gynecologists should be aware of performing histopathological examinations of this neoplasm for accurate diagnosis and to avoid unwarranted therapeutic interventions. Internal genital tract hemangiomas are rare and can be divided into capillary and cavernous. We present a rare case of cavernous hemangioma (CH) of the corpus in a young, non‐pregnant woman. The patient was a 28‐year‐old woman who had complained of menorrhagia for 2.5 years. Sonography showed a hypoechoic intramural area measuring 35 × 23 mm. Histomorphology revealed neoplastic proliferation of dilated thin‐walled arteries of various sizes within the myometrium. Due to the variable clinical presentations of CH, histopathological examination should be performed for an accurate diagnosis. It is a rare entity and we recommend training pathologists and gynecologists on this neoplasm for accurate diagnosis and to avoid unwarranted therapeutic interventions.
