Cavernous haemangioma on the lip of a 49 year old female patient. This condition is caused by an abnormal collection of blood vessels in a specific tissue or organ, creating small bubbles (or caverns) filled with blood that look like a berry. Cavernous haemangiomas can vary in size from microscopic to several inches in diameter and can occur in different parts of the body, including the brain, spinal cord, liver, and skin. Generally, they are benign (non-cancerous) and may or may not cause symptoms, depending on their size, location, and other factors. If a cavernous haemangioma is causing symptoms, the treatment options may include surgical removal or radiosurgery. |
