Pregnancy-associated diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the uterus

Diffuse cavernous hemangiomatosis of the pregnant uterus is a rare but serious condition. Six cases (1) have been reported in the literature since 1897. This is the first case diagnosed by sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the second one in which pregnancy was terminated by a successful cesarean section. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic examination. Several complications are described.
