Infantile hemangioma, a common benign tumor of infancy, grows quickly in the first year of life, and then regresses slowly to fibrofatty tissue in childhood. The accumulation of fibrofatty tissue in hemangioma involution indicates adipogenesis during this period. Perivascular cells (PCs) from multiple organs display multi-lineage differentiation, including adipogenesis. So we supposed that PCs ...

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common childhood vascular tumor. Although benign, some hemangiomas cause deformation and destruction of features or endanger life. The current treatments, corticosteroid or propranolol, are administered for several months and can have adverse effects on the infant. We designed a high-throughput screen to identify the Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs tha...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Liver hemangioma, the most common benign liver tumor, can be safely managed by clinical observation. However, surgical treatment should be considered in a subset of patients with giant hemangioma with abdominal symptoms. We reviewed the feasibility of total laparoscopic liver resection for giant hemangioma of >6 cm in diameter. METHODS Nine consecutive patients who underwent ...

Rapid postnatal growth and slow involution in childhood characterize the common infantile hemangioma. There are other rare vascular tumors that present fully grown at birth and behave quite differently, as designated by the acronyms: rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH) and noninvoluting congenital hemangioma (NICH). RICH and NICH have similarities in appearance, location, size, equa...

Infantile hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor in early childhood. Propranolol has been successfully used recently in a limited number of children with Infantile hemangioma. We present 6 cases of Infantile hemangioma, at a single dermatological center, which responded to oral propranolol with good results.

Nasal lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign lesion of unknown etiology, which is commonly associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptives and trauma. Epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms.5 The nasal cavity is a rare location for lobular capillary hemangioma.2 We are presenting a case of lobular capillary hemangioma which was located on the posterior end of middle turbi...

by increasing number of vessels. salivary gland tumors are uncommon and their overall incidence is about 3 per 100000 per year. salivary gland hemangioma makes up 1 % of all salivary gland tumors. trismus resulting from parotid hemangioma is so rare. the patient was a 6-month-old boy with a huge lesion in his right parotid who referred to shahid sadoughi hospital of yazd, iran. the lesion appea...

Introduction: The systemic and local content of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines play substantial roles in pathophysiology of arthritis. This study was purposed to verify the roles of synovial TNF-α, IL-6 and fractalkine (Fkn) in edema changes during different stages of Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA)-induced knee arthritis in rats. Methods: 168 male Wistar rats were divided i...
