Popis: Hemangiomas of the bladder and prostate are rare. There haveonly been approximately 80 cases described in the literature, the majority of which were of bladder origin. Treatment has varied from partial cystectomy to use of the neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) laser. Herein, we report a case of vesical neck and prostatic hemangiomas successfully treated with super-selective intra-arterial injections of polyvinyl alcohol.
