Hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth are a type of infantile hemangioma in which the proliferative component characteristic of such lesions is not observed or accounts for less than 25% of the surface area of the hemangioma. For this reason, these lesions are frequently confused with capillary vascular malformations or may even go undetected. Awareness of these lesions is, however, impor...

A capillary-cavernous hemangioma in an obturator lymph node was found incidentally in a 64 year-old woman who had undergone unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy for an ovarian neoplasm. Vascular tumors of lymph nodes are briefly reviewed including eight previously described nodal capillary-cavernous hemangiomas. The association with other splanchnic hemangiomas is pointed out an...

Capillary hemangiomas are common soft tissue tumors on the skin or mucosa of the head and neck in the early childhood, but very rare in the neuraxis. A 47-year-old man presented with one month history of back pain on the lower thoracic area, radiating pain to both legs, and hypesthesia below T7 dermatome. Thoracic spine MRI showed 1×1.3×1.5 cm, well-defined intradural mass at T6-7 disc space le...

OBJECTIVE To describe a previously unreported condition of the neonatal larynx. DESIGN Case series of 4 neonates with an uncommon laryngeal lesion. SETTING Tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Four neonates in the first 10 days of life with stridor, hoarseness, and respiratory distress. INTERVENTION The patients were examined using flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy, and laryngeal ...

Hemangiomas of the tympanic membrane are extremely rare. We present the third reported case and, to our knowledge, the first capillary hemangioma of the tympanic membrane. These deep purple polypoid tumors are asymptomatic while small but enlarge slowly to erode adjacent structures. They arise characteristically from the lamina propria of the tympanic membrane without involving the middle ear. ...

Hemangiomas are tumors that are characterized chiefly by the massive proliferation of blood vessels predominantly blood capillaries. Although they are seen in head and neck they are rarely reported in the oral cavity, especially those associated to the posterior part of the palate. Having developmental origin that is benign in nature and behavior, they may become more apparent in later life whi...
