Very rare cause of vaginal mass in pregnancy: cavernous hemangioma.

Vaginal cavernous hemangioma is a considerably rare condition during pregnancy. There has only been one reported case to date. A multiparous, 24-year-old woman in the 32nd week of pregnancy was admitted with a mass prolapsed from the vagina, which had suddenly increased in size over the previous few days. A necrotic mass obstructing the vaginal canal and originating from the posterior wall was observed in a pelvic physical examination and carefully excised. The patient had contractions after the intervention and was administered tocolytic treatment with bed-rest and fluids. Her obstetric clinical status was stable after treatment and she gave birth without complication at 37 weeks and 5 days from the vaginal canal. The main approach to these very rare tumors of pregnancy, especially in the presence of necrosis, infection and/or obstruction, should be excision. But the potential for increased blood loss that may occur due to the hypervascular structure of the tumor should be taken into account.
