BRAVO LUNA, Lucy Lorena  and  PADILLA MEDINA, Cristhian Danilo. Uterine venous malformation. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2021, vol.27, n.1, pp.92-95.  Epub May 23, 2021. ISSN 0122-0667.  https://doi.org/10.22517/25395203.24459.

Venous malformations are benign vascular lesions that rarely appear in the uterus. They are made up of abnormal veins, of different sizes and proportions, with spongiform configuration and random disposition. In the literature, some cases have been previously reported, using the term "cavernous hemangioma", but according to recent changes in terminology, approved by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Abnormalities (ISSVA), the use of this term is discouraged, and the diagnosis of Venous malformation is suggested, if the histopathological findings are met. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman, with abnormal vaginal bleeding and a clinical diagnosis of myomatosis and myoma aborted by the internal cervical orifice, in whom the histopathological study revealed the presence of a venous malformation that compromised the myometrium and endometrium, with subsequent formation of a polyp.

Keywords : Vascular malformations, hemangioma cavernous; uterus; pathology.
