Cavernous hemangioma of the foot and antecubital fossa: an alternative therapeutic option

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2003 Apr;58(4):527-31. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10450.

Abstract

We present two cases of recurrent cavernous hemangiomas of the extremities. These conditions were initially treated unsuccessfully with surgical resection. After recurrence, the hemangiomas were treated by percutaneous transcatheter embolization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of treatment of cavernous hemangioma involving the extremities using an angiographically directed vascular embolization technique.
