7. Hemangiomas are noncancerous growths that
form due to an abnormal collection of blood
vessels. They are usually found on the skin or
internal organs—particularly the liver. Because
they are congenital, most people develop them
before birth, while they are still in the womb.

Hemangioma
Verrucous hemangioma is an infrequent variety of
deep-seated capillary or cavernous hemangioma with
reactive epidermal hyperplasia and a superficial
component indistinguishable from those of
angiokeratoma.
. Verrucous hemangiomas are usually congenital
lesions which do not resolve spontaneously and have
a tendency to recur after excision if margins are
inadequate.
Careful histopathologic and clinical evaluation are
required for an optimal therapeutic approach.

causes
Hemangiomas of the skin
develop when blood vessels
group together into a single
lump. Experts are not sure why
blood vessels group together like
this, but they suspect it is caused
by certain proteins that are
produced in the placenta during
gestation (or the time when you
are in the womb).

How Are Hemangiomas
Diagnosed?
No special tests are used to diagnose skin
hemangiomas.
Your doctor can diagnose them by sight during
a physical examination.
Hemangiomas on the organs are usually
spotted during an imaging test, such as an
ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan.

Complications.
The most common complication of
surgery to remove a hemangioma
is hemorrhage (blood loss). In
addition, hemangiomas have a high
tendency to come back after
surgery, depending upon the type
and location of the tumor.
