Bilateral ovarian haemangioma: report of a rare lesion of ovary
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Ovarian haemangioma is a rare benign tumor of female genital tract. We report a case of bilateral ovarian haemangioma in a post menopausal woman detected incidentally to emphasise on its rare occurrence and clinico pathological features. Haemangioma was unsuspected clinically and we received a specimen of total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. On gross examination, the outer surface of both the ovaries was smooth, glistening and greyish- white in colour. Both the ovaries were normal in size and shape. The cut surface showed a spongy texture .On microscopic examination, most of the ovary showed dilated thin walled vascular channels of variable size and shape mostly filled with RBCs and separated by connective tissue septa. These vessels were lined by a single layer of flattened endothelium without atypical features. A diagnosis of bilateral ovarian haemangioma was made. These neoplasms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a hemorrhagic ovarian lesion. Surgical extirpation of the involved areas is the treatment of choice Keywords: Haemangioma, ovary, bilateral
