BACKGROUND Laser treatment of childhood hemangiomas remains controversial. Previous studies have used outdated technology, resulting in a potential overrepresentation of adverse outcomes. OBJECTIVE To evaluate outcomes of hemangiomas treated with the most current laser technology. METHODS A retrospective chart analysis of 90 patients with a median age of 3.0 months and a total of 105 hemang...

This case involves a possible complication of excessive bleeding or rupture of hemangiomas. Problems and anesthetic management of the patient are discussed. A 35-year-old man with Sturge-Weber syndrome was to undergo teeth extraction and gingivectomy. Hemangiomas covered his face and the inside of the oral cavity. We used intravenous conscious sedation with propofol and N2O-O2 to reduce the pat...

Hepatic hemangiomas are benign tumors of the liver consisting of clusters of blood-filled cavities, lined by endothelial cells, fed by the hepatic artery. The vast majority of HH are asymptomatic, most often being discovered incidentally during imaging investigations for various unrelated pathologies. Typical hemangiomas, the so-called capillary hemangiomas, range from a few mm to 3 cm, do not ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe the clinical presentation and airway characteristics of infants with airway hemangiomas and concomitant PHACE syndrome and to determine the prevalence of airway hemangiomas in PHACE subjects at our institution. STUDY DESIGN Case series. METHODS Retrospective review including clinical presentation, airway findings, treatment measures, and outcomes. RESULTS...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and genetic findings in a family with multiple cases of cavernous hemangiomas. DESIGN Investigational clinical and genetic study in which 3 generations of a family consisting of 12 members were screened with magnetic resonance brain imaging, dilated ophthalmoscopic examination, and cutaneous survey coupled with linkage analysis to determine affected individu...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether MR imaging features can reliably distinguish hemangiomas from malignant soft-tissue masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed MR imaging studies of 22 patients with soft-tissue hemangiomas and 22 patients with malignant soft-tissue masses. Images were reviewed and agreement reached by a consensus interpretation of tw...

PURPOSE To describe a case of diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis presenting as bilateral iris hemangiomas. METHOD Case report. PATIENT A 2-month-old girl presented with bilateral enlarging red masses of her irises, congestive heart failure, and abdominal distension. The iris masses were diagnosed as hemangiomas, and she was found to have diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis also involving her ski...

Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. Hereby, authors report a w...

Genitourinary hemangiomas are rare entities of the urinary system. We reported a female patient who suffered dyspareunia and intermitant hematuria that was proved as urethral cavernous hemangioma. Despite its benign nature, hemangiomas may recur due to incomplet excision.
