ABSTRACT

This article reported a case of cavernous hemangioma of the mesosigmoid, its clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. It also offered literature review on this topic for which search into the Medigraphic, Cochrane, Medline and Pubmed databases was made. The patient was a 72 years-old man that went to the hospital with abdominal pain, constipation, loss of weight and tumor mass in the left iliac cavity. Despite imaging and endoscopic research, it was not possible to reach diagnosis preoperatively. He underwent laparotomy and tumor resection and the final diagnosis was confirmed in the histopathological study. The cavernous hemangioma of the mesosigmoid is a rare tumor difficult to preoperatively diagnose despite the advanced imaging techniques. Surgical excision and histological exam are the only means to reach diagnosis.
