1. HEMANGIOMA
Definition
A hemangioma is an abnormal buildup of blood vessels in the skin
or internal organs.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
About 30% of hemangiomas are present at birth. The rest appear in
the first several months of life.
The hemangioma may be:
• In the top skin layers (capillary hemangioma)
• Deeper in the skin (cavernous hemangioma)
• A mixture of both
Symptoms:
• A red to reddish-purple, raised sore (lesion) on the skin
• A massive, raised tumor with blood vessels
Most hemangiomas are on the face and neck.
Signs and tests:
Hemangiomas are diagnosed by a physical examination. In the
case of deep or mixed lesions, a CT or MRI scan may be
performed.
Occasionally, a hemangioma may occur with other rare conditions.
Additional tests may be done for these syndromes.

2. Treatment
Superficial or "strawberry" hemangiomas often are not treated.
When they are allowed to disappear on their own, the result is
usually normal-appearing skin. In some cases, a laser may be used
to remove the small vessels.
Cavernous hemangiomas that involve the eyelid and block vision
are generally treated with steroid injections or laser treatments.
These quickly reduce the size of the lesions, allowing vision to
develop normally. Large cavernous hemangiomas or mixed
hemangiomas may be treated with oral steroids and injections of
steroids directly into the hemangioma.
Recently, lasers have been used to reduce the size of the
hemangiomas. Lasers that emit yellow light damage the vessels in
the hemangioma without damaging the skin over it. Some
physicians use a combination of steroid injection and laser therapy.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Small, superficial hemangiomas often disappear on their own.
About 50% go away by age 5, and 90% are gone by age 9.
Possible Complications
• Bleeding (especially if the hemangioma is injured)
• Problems with breathing and eating
• Psychological problems, from skin appearance
• Secondary infections and sores

3. • Visible changes in the skin
