Sumario:RATIONALE: Cavernous hemangiomas referred to as venous malformations (VMs), are not true vascular tumors. The treatment of cavernous hemangiomas is controversial. PATIENT CONCERNS: A five-year-old girl with a cavernous hemangioma on her right buttock had undergone surgery but recurred 1 month after the operation. DIAGNOSES: Cavernous hemangioma was diagnosed on the basis of physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and postoperative pathologic examination. INTERVENTIONS: We treated her with intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) for 8 times. OUTCOMES: She was cured and had no recurrence during the 3-month follow-up. LESSONS: This prompts that TCA may provide a more effective and safer choice for the treatment of cavernous hemangiomas.
