## TL;DR

A rare case of a clitoral hemangioma in an adult woman is reported, diagnosed through surgery and confirmed by histology.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the limited literature on clitoral hemangiomas in adults.

## Key findings

- A 39-year-old woman presented with a five-year history of clitoral swelling due to a cavernous hemangioma.
- Surgical excision and histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a cavernous hemangioma.
- Clitoral hemangiomas are exceptionally rare in adults and often require surgical intervention for diagnosis and treatment.

## Abstract

Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors commonly seen in early childhood, typically occurring on the face, scalp, chest, or back. Clitoral hemangiomas, especially in adults, are exceptionally rare. This case report describes a unique presentation of clitoromegaly due to a cavernous hemangioma of the clitoris in a 39-year-old woman who presented with a progressive and worsening swelling of the clitoris for five years. A surgical excision of the cyst was performed, and a histological examination confirmed a cavernous hemangioma.
