Abstract

Hemangiomas of the ovaries are rare benign tumors that develop as a result of congenital malformation of blood vessels. Most often they are small in size and are a random finding during the operation or at autopsy. In rare cases, they can reach large sizes and cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, an increase in the level of cancer markers, and a number of other symptoms. In the literature, no more than 60 patients are described, with a confirmed diagnosis of ovarian hemangioma. We give a description of the case of detection of bilateral asymptomatic hemangiomas of the ovaries in a patient 59 years after performing pantheisterectomy.
