Abstract
Cavernous hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor related to single or
multiple hemangiomas, probably developing from embryonic remnants of
angioblastic cells. This entity is very rare and constitutes barely 0.6% of bladder
tumors. However its diagnosis can be easily established by cystoscopy and confirmed
by pathological examination. Hematuria is the most common mode of manifestation.
Bladder hemangioma is most often sporadic, but it can be associated with a KlippelTrenaunay syndrom, in this case they are multiple. Treatment consists of tumor
resection. Selective arterial embolisation is rarely used. Endoscopic treatment by
photocoagulation Neodymium laser seems a satisfactory therapeutic option.
