A member asked:

A ct found a 35mm hypodensity, demonstrating some peripheral enhancement that may reflect a cavernous hemangioma. also, a smaller hyperenhancing mass that may reflect a flash filling cavernous hemangioma. are these benign?

Cavernous hemangioma: Is a benign vascular tumor made of a collection of dilated blood vessels. Hemangiomas can cause local complications and need long term surveillance.
