[Pelvic bone angiomas]

Abstract

Three patients were seen with angiomas of the pelvic bones; the radiological and clinical features are described and the literature reviewed. The patients had been observed for four to six years. The differential diagnosis includes infiltrating mesenchymal neoplasms and the histologically similar, but rare, Gorham-Stout syndrome. Recommended treatment is irradiation, which is effective up to a point.
