Morphological characterization of infantile hemangiomas: An Indian study

Context: Vascular tumors of infancy and childhood consist of a number of clinicopathologically distinct entities. Infantile hemangiomas (IH) constitute the bulk of these tumors. As they are seldom biopsied, we do not encounter an opportunity to study them, and this is evident from the paucity of reported cases in pathology literature from India. Clinicians and pathologists alike have traditiona...

Infantile Hemangiomas: An Update on Pathogenesis

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common vascular tumors of childhood, affecting ∼5% of all infants. Although most lesions proliferate and then involute with minimal consequence, a significant minority can be disfiguring, functionally significant, or, rarely, lifethreatening.

When intervention is clinically indicated, medical and surgical options exist. Historically, corticosteroids have been used and have been shown to slow or stop the growth of a majority of hemangiomas; however, growth concerns and infe...
