ABSTRACT

Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome is an emergency condition rarely encountered since its first description, and it may be potentially dangerous unless treated. The potential hazard of the condition stems from hair strands wrapping around and strangulating various body processes such as fingers, penis, or clitoris. In this paper we aimed to report the first case of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome affecting a haemangioma of an adult patient. A 68-year-old woman presented to emergency department for pain in the mass on her back. On physical examination, a haemangioma with a size of about 3x3 cm was noted on the right scapula. When inspected closely, it appeared edematous and strangulated, and there were hair strands wrapped to the bottom of the wound. The hair strands were removed and the strangulated haemangioma was excised.
