This paper presents a case of a patient with hemangioma of the uterus, which is one of the very rare localizations for this type of tumors. Hemangiomas are tumors that originate from blood vessels and are more often found on the skin or in the liver. No one has ever thought of its localization in the uterus until histopathological finding proves it. We presented a case of a 57 years old patient who was operated at the clinic for surgical oncology - department of gynecology of the Institute of Oncology Sremska Kamenica.
