A cavernous malformation or also called cavernous angioma or cavernous hemangioma or cavernoma is a malformation in the capillaries, and when located in the brain or spine (nervous system) may bleed and in turn can cause neurological deficits. The shape of this malformation resembles that of a raspberry/ These neurological deficits may be headaches, dizziness, double vision, memory issues etc. This is also dependent on the location of the malformation as well as the size of the lesion and size of the bleed. Many people that have a cavernous malformation will never know they have them because they remain asymptomatic. There are people that have one cavernous malformation in what is called the sporadic form of the disease, while others have multiple cavernous malformations due to a genetic mutation in one of tree genes (ccm1, ccm2, and ccm3).

A hemangioma is a benign tumour of the endotheial cells that line blood vessels. They do not usually cause any problems. The liver has a very large reserve functional mass, and there should therefore not be any problems with a hemangioma on the liver. However, they can occasionally ulcerate and bleed.
Hemangioma is pronounced heh-man-jee-OH-mah.
The most common testing for diagnosis of hemangioma which is the abnormal buildup of blood vessels is typically done with an ultrasound. Some hemangioma can be visually detected.
the symptoms of hemangioma include a purplish, red sore on the skin, or a raised tumor with the blood vessels. hemangioma is usually spotted on the face or neck area of the body.
