Primary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma: A case report and review of the literature
Abstract
Retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma, a rare vascular tumor, has only 30 PubMed cases. Preoperative diagnostic criteria are unclear and often present asymptomatically until complications such as rupture or compression arise. We present a 73-year-old with chronic abdominal pain and a giant retroperitoneal tumor. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an irregular space-occupying mass in the retroperitoneum, suggesting a retroperitoneal chronic expanding hematoma. Total surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis as retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
