Background: Hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that shouldbe treated in problematic situations.Propranolol efficacy, target dose, range of age, duration of treatment and complications arenot conclusive for treatment of pediatric hemangioma. Our goal was to study efficacy and safety of propranolol for hemangiomatreating in children. Methods: A randomized, open label crossover trial with two ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Objectives were 1) to review the presentation, natural history, and management of subglottic hemangioma; 2) to assess the affect of five variables (age, gender, degree of subglottic narrowing, location and extent of subglottic hemangioma, and lack or presence of other hemangioma) and the outcome of six different treatment modalities (conservative monitoring, corticosteroid...

OBJECTIVE To examine the location and degree of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein expression in hemangioma growth, involution, and during propranolol therapy. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Pediatric patients with hemangiomas. INTERVENTIONS Fresh human hemangioma specimens at various stages of development were harvested. Effective prop...

INTRODUCTION Cavernous hemangiomas of the orbit are benign vascular malformations, commonly encountered in adults. Although they are infrequent in pediatric population their diagnosis and course are of a great significance, mainly because they can cause visual disturbances such as amblyopia that can ensue, and secondarily due to their cosmetic and psychological effect. Special attention is requ...

BACKGROUND Hemangiomas of infancy are the most common tumors of childhood, and ulceration is the most common complication. Many treatments have been used for hemangioma ulceration, although none are uniformly effective. A recent report described the successful use of 0.01% becaplermin gel, a recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor, for an ulcerated hemangioma refractory to standard car...

Verrucous hemangioma is a rare, localized vascular malformation.The lesions are bluish-red, well demarcated, and compressible. Wereport a case of a 10-year-old girl with coexistent disseminatedverrucous hemangioma and subcutaneous hemangioma overthe nape of neck.

A 6-day-old infant presented with a deeply bluish cystic mass below the right medial canthus. She had been born healthy. Under the impression of a hemangioma brain computed tomography was conducted. As a result, a diagnosis of congenital dacryocystocele was made. We present this case to show that it is important for a dermatologist to correctly identify congenital dacryocystoceles and appropria...

Hepatic hemangioma, adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia are the most frequent benign lesions of the liver, but they are all infrequent among pediatric population. The reports of focal nodular hyperplasia in children have recently increased in number, with many cases associated to drug intake, particularly to chemotherapy. We here describe, to our knowledge, the first case of focal nodular hyp...
