Uterine hemangioma is a rare condition that may present with a number of clinical findings.
Clinical findings associated with uterine hemangioma:
(1) menorrhagia and/or dysmenorrhea
(2) abdominal pain
(3) infertility
(4) complications during pregnancy
(5) post-partum hemorrhage and/or DIC
The diagnosis is usually not considered because it is uncommon. It can also be difficult to diagnose if the patient has a leiomyoma or other lesion that can explain the clinical findings.
Imaging studies can demonstrate the vascular nature of the lesion. This might include:
(1) pelvic angiography
(2) CT with contrast
(3) MRI with contrast
Differential diagnosis:
(1) adenomyosis
(2) adenomatoid tumor
(3) lymphangioma
(4) arteriovenous malformation
