Rationale:
Cavernous hemangiomas referred to as venous malformations (VMs), are not true vascular tumors. The treatment of cavernous hemangiomas is controversial.
Patient Concerns:
A five-year-old girl with a cavernous hemangioma on her right buttock had undergone surgery but recurred 1 month after the operation.
Diagnoses:
Cavernous hemangioma was diagnosed on the basis of physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and postoperative pathologic examination.
Interventions:
We treated her with intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) for 8 times.
Outcomes:
She was cured and had no recurrence during the 3-month follow-up.
Lessons:
This prompts that TCA may provide a more effective and safer choice for the treatment of cavernous hemangiomas.
