ABSTRACT
We report a case of 50-year-old man with hyalinized hemangioma of the liver. This tumor was detected incidentally during surgical operation for gall stone and was preoperatively diagnosed as intrahepatic stone. A 2.5 2 cm sized gray to white hard mass was found in the left lobe of the liver. Histologically, the tumor was composed of dense collagenous tissue with marked hyalinization, calcification, and ossification admixed with scattered sclerotic vessels. Abundunt elastic fibers were noted in the hyalinized tissue. Totally hyalinized hemangioma is very uncommon and could be erroneously diagnosed as a malignant tumor by preoperative radiologic examination.

PURPOSE: To determinate the effect of clinical factors on the duration of hematuria after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventy-three men who underwent TURP were analyzed retrospectively to determine the time of cessation of hematuria. The effect of various clinical factors (weight of tissue resected, operation duration, and resection rate) was assessed. RESULTS: Microscopic hematuria ceased in 37%, 70%, 87%, and 96% of patients at the end of the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth weeks, respectively. The duration of postoperative bleeding was significantly associated with the weight of tissue resected and the operation time (p<0.014 and <0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative hematuria usually stopped within 4 weeks of TURP. This period was directly related to the size of the gland resected and the duration of the procedure.
