Hemangiomas, localized tumors of blood vessels, appear in approximately 10-12% of Caucasian infants. These lesions are characterized by a rapid proliferation of capillaries for the first year (proliferating phase), followed by slow, inevitable, regression of the tumor over the ensuing 1-5 yr (involuting phase), and continual improvement until 6-12 yr of age (involuted phase). To delineate the c...

Hemangiomas are benign tumors of the vascular endothelium and are the most common tumors of infancy. These tumors are characterized by an initial phase of rapid proliferation, which is followed, in most cases, by spontaneous involution. Although most lesions resolve without complication, there are some cases in which hemangiomas can be life threatening when occurring near a vital structure. Tre...

lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors. they are located either subcutaneously or under the investing fascia in intramuscular or intermuscular regions. the reported frequency of intramuscular lipomas among all benign adipocytic tumors is 1.0%–5.0% and for intermuscular lipomas is 0.3%–1.9%. the frequency of these lesions is the same in all age groups, but in adults deep seated-li...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the short- and long-term adverse effects of systemic glucocorticosteroid (GS) therapy in infants with hemangiomas. DESIGN Retrospective chart review of infants treated with GSs for hemangiomas during a 3-year period. SETTING Tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Of 141 patients identified with hemangiomas, 22 were treated with GSs. INTERVENTIONS Minimum of 1-...

Some infantile hemangiomas called in literature "minimal or arrested growth hemangiomas" or "abortive hemangiomas" are present at birth and have a proliferative component equaling less than 25% of its total surface area. Often, they are mistaken for vascular malformation. We present five patients (three girls and two boys) with abortive hemangiomas diagnosed between January 2010 and December 20...

Objectives The aim of the study was to describe the historical and clinical characteristics of hemangiomas in a series of cases of our clinic. Methods This is a retrospective study of 36 patients with infantile hemangiomas consulted in our clinic. Results We had 14 multiple hemangiomas, and 1 kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. Almost two-thirds involved the cephalic extremity, and 76% of the ...

INTRODUCTION Hemangiomas are benign tumors characterized by proliferation of blood vessels. A few hemangiomas are aggressive, characterized by bone expansion and extraosseous extension. These benign tumors may be mistaken for metatasis resulting in unnecessary biopsies, which have a high risk of hemorrhage. These hemangiomas can spread not just into the paraspinal soft tissues but also into the...

Pericardial hemangioma is very rare and their coincidence with other visceral hemamgiomas is exceptional. We are reporting a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered pericardial hemangioma during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and mitral valve replacement surgery and a prior history of multiple hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. This case has been reported due to its extreme rarity. To ...

Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign vascular tumors in children. They present a characteristic natural history of spontaneous involution after phase initial proliferation. A small but significant minority demonstrates incomplete regression or complications and requires prompt intervention. Prediction evolution infantile is challenging because their morphological behavioral heteroge...

Abstract Background PHACE syndrome is a congenital disorder in infants characterized by the presence of large hemangiomas cervicofacial region along with anomalies cardiovascular system, brain, and eyes. an extremely rare condition, parotid has never been reported medical literature. Case presentation A 3-month-old female infant presented plaques that later involved left eyelids. The blanched o...
