AIMS Infantile haemangioma is a tumour of the microvasculature characterised by aggressive angiogenesis during infancy and spontaneously gradual involution, often leaving a fibro-fatty residuum. The segmental distribution of a subgroup of infantile haemangioma, especially those associated with midline structural anomalies that constitute posterior fossa malformations-hemangiomas-arterial anomal...

Haemangioma is the most common tumour of endothelial origin, occurring in 4-10% of Caucasian infants. It is characterized by rapid growth during the first year of postnatal life, followed by spontaneous regression from 1 to 7 years of age. The cell surface adhesion molecule CD146 has been identified as an endothelial cell marker. Despite advances in understanding the functional role of CD146 in...

Intra-articular haemangioma is a rare and uncommon condition that sometimes presents in infants. The lesion can be a diagnostic challenge, with misdiagnosis often leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It is essential to establish and treat the condition early, as intra-articular haemangioma can lead to destruction of the joint and secondary arthrosis. Herein, we report the case of a five-...

Abstract Introduction Cavernous liver haemangiomas or hepatic are the most common benign neoplasm of liver. They more in women with a male to female ratio 2.5-5.1- likely due estrogenic influence. composed endothelial cells and usually small size (< 4 cm). asymptomatic cases incidentally discovered on diagnostic tests. Occasionally can exceed 5 cm where they cause symptoms such as nonspe...

Article type: Review Article Infantile Haemangiomas (IH) are the most common vascular tumors occurring in early childhood, with a prevalence of approximately 510% of infants. These vascular tumors are divided into two main groups including; infantile haemangioma and vascular malformations. Although, haemangioma of infancy are common, benign and selflimited tumors, a significant percent of these...

A 28-year old man presented with a symptomatic giant haemangioma. On June 26, 1983, at laparotomy, no resection was attempted because the lesion involved the right lobe of the liver and a part of segments II and III. The patient underwent a right hepatic arterial embolisation with gelatine sponge particles. During follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic. Five-year review by CT-scan showed ...

Sir, Infantile haemangioma is a fairly common vascular tumour of the skin in infancy. In contrast, infantile subglottic haemangioma is rare, accounting for about 1.5% of all congenital laryngeal anomalies (1). However, it often causes stridor in infancy and sometimes leads to life-threatening respiratory distress (2). We report here a case of infantile haemangiomas on the face, neck and chest t...
