Abstract
GALVAN-MONTANO, Alfonso Fernando; GUZMAN-MARTINEZ, Sonia; MORALES-LEYTE, Ana Lilia and GARCIA-MORENO, Silvia. Intestinal occlusion by hemangioma of the greater omentum in a 14-year-old boy. Rev. mex. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.86, n.1, pp.18-20. Epub Dec 03, 2020. ISSN 0035-0052.
Introduction:
Primary omentum tumors include: leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, fibroma, fibrosarcoma, hemangioma, lipoma, liposarcoma and mesothelioma. Hemangiomas are the rarest and are benign vascular neoplasms. The objective is to present a case of intestinal occlusion due to cavernous hemangioma of the greater omentum.
Clinical case:
Male of 14 years with acute abdominal periumbilical pain, of three days of evolution with high intensity. X-ray of the abdomen with dilated small bowel loops and presence of hydro-aerial levels. A laparotomy was performed, finding a tumor in the greater omentum, which caused intestinal obstruction. Histologically diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma was made.
Conclusion:
omental hemangioma is a rare tumor that should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
Keywords : Intestinal occlusion; cavernous hemangioma; greater omentum; adolescent.
