Abstract
- Although hemangioma is not infrequent among gynecological patients, misdiagnosis is possible in clitoral hemangioma because of it's anatomical location and the shape. It is difficult to consider hemangioma rather than another disease as the cause of clitoral enlargement. To our knowledge, there are only 2 reported cases with clitoral involvement of hemangioma in the literature and we report first in Korea. Here we describe a patient with a large and ulcerative clitoral hemangioma, who recovered completely after a simple treatment.
