Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the uterus mimicking adenomyosis- A rare case report

Vascular mesenchymal neoplasms of the female genital tract are extremely rare, of which cavernous hemangiomas of the uterine myometrium are uncommon. Only 60 cases have been documented in the world literature and we believe this is the fifth case to be reported in the Indian population. Here, we report a histologically diagnosed case of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the uterine myometrium in a 40 year old lady, with a provisional diagnosis of adenomyosis. Pathological examination is the mainstay for the diagnosis of this condition. Keywords: Adenomyosis, Hemangioma, Myometrium, Uterus.
