Neodymium:YAG laser irradiation of bladder hemangioma. 1984

J A Smith, and J A Dixon

Bladder hemangiomas may occur singly or in association with systemic arteriovenous malformations. Previously open surgical removal of these lesions has been necessary and endoscopic resection or biopsy strongly discouraged. We report a case of the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome and a massive bladder hemangioma. Hemorrhagic complications were controlled by endoscopic application of neodymium:YAG laser photo-irradiation.

D007715	Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome	A congenital disorder that is characterized by a triad of capillary malformations (HEMANGIOMA), venous malformations (ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA), and soft tissue or bony hypertrophy of the limb. This syndrome is caused by mutations in the VG5Q gene which encodes a strong angiogenesis stimulator.

D006392	Hemangioma, Cavernous	A vascular anomaly that is a collection of tortuous BLOOD VESSELS and connective tissue. This tumor-like mass with the large vascular space is filled with blood and usually appears as a strawberry-like lesion in the subcutaneous areas of the face, extremities, or other regions of the body including the central nervous system.
