Summary

Retroperitoneal venous hemangiomas are rare tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging and muscle attachment can aid in diagnosing these rare venous malformations.

Background:

Retroperitoneal venous hemangiomas are exceedingly rare, with limited documented cases in medical literature.
This condition predominantly presents as the cavernous type of hemangioma.

Observation:

A case study involving a 28-year-old male with a retroperitoneal venous hemangioma is presented.
Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated characteristic signal intensities (low on T1, high on T2) and partial interruption of the surrounding muscle layer.
Intraoperative examination revealed a large, reddish-brown mass with an ill-defined capsule, adherent to adjacent muscular tissue.

Findings:

MRI findings, including signal characteristics and muscle layer involvement, are crucial for preoperative assessment.
The firm attachment of the tumor to surrounding muscles is a significant intraoperative diagnostic clue.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of retroperitoneal venous hemangiomas can be challenging.
Integrated diagnostic approaches utilizing MRI and intraoperative observations improve diagnostic accuracy for this rare condition.
