Trauma Reconstruction Hemifacial Microsomia Summary There has been a great deal of confusion in the terms used to describe different types of vascular lesions or birthmarks. In the past, the word hemangioma has been used to describe a variety of lesions with differing origins and characteristics. A new classification system was published in 1982 by Mulliken and Glowacki, designed to simplify the nomenclature based on cellular biology with diagnostic applicability to the natural progression of these birthmarks. In this system, vascular birthmarks are divided into two major categories: hemangiomas and malformations. Hemangiomas are the vascular tumors that demonstrate rapid cell turnover or proliferation. Malformations are all other vascular tumors which have a normal endothelial cell turnover or cycle. This article discusses the diagnosis, clinical course and treatment of hemangiomas.

Extractions: Hemangiomas Hemangiomas occur five times more often in females than in males and occur predominantly in Caucasians. Low birthweight infants (less than 2.2 pounds) have a 26 percent chance of developing a hemangioma. The cause of hemangiomas has not been determined. The important thing to remember is that accurate diagnosis and early intervention is key. Hemangiomas, like people, come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and hardly noticeable, while others are large and disfiguring. Approximately 83 percent occur on the head and neck area. The remaining 17 percent appear throughout the rest of the body (both externally and internally). In the early stages some appear either as bluish or reddish spots or flat patches. Rarely is a hemangioma fully grown at birth. Hemangiomas that are flat and appear reddish in color are called "superficial" and those that are deep beneath the skin and appear bluish in color are called "deep" hemangiomas. When a hemangioma is both deep and superficial it is called a "compound" hemangioma. The correct diagnosis is critical for proper treatment. Hemangiomas can grow for up to 18 months and then begin a long slow regression known as involution. This involution can last from three years to 10 years.

Extractions: Patient support links Also known as a strawberry hemangioma, a hemangioma is a proliferation of blood vessels that typically occurs shortly after birth. Hemangiomas usually starts off flat and then becomes raised. They can remain small or can become very large. Hemangiomas can be entirely superficial or remain deep to the skin. A hemangioma generally regresses once it has reached its peak size. This may take several years, and for larger and deeper hemangiomas, there may some residual scarring.

http://www.brain-surgery.com/cavernous.html

Extractions: Also known as "Cavernomas" and "Cavernous Malformations." These lesions have been found with increasing frequency over the past few years because of the incredible accuracy of MRI scanning. They arise from the tiny vessels that separate the arterial system from the venous system of the brain. There is some controversy as to whether the cavernomas are true vascular malformations or very slow growing tumors of capillary blood vessels. They are characterized as truly benign lesions, and can be completely removed and cured by surgical removal. However, as many of these lesions are found coincidentally, they are often left alone if no evidence of hemorrhage is present at the time of the MRI study. They may induce seizures; occasionally, their removal leads to seizure control when medical therapy fails. When they are noted along with hemorrhage, they most often do not cause neurologic devastation, as do brain aneurysms and AVMs. The reason for this has to do with the very low vascular pressure within these malformations. Consequently, the usual volume of hemorrhage is small, causing temporary deficits that generally improve (not completely). We now know that the cavernomas do grow slowly over time, and that once they hemorrhage, they tend to do so again. Each subsequent hemorrhage is usually followed by a stepwise deterioration in neurologic function, causing the patient to lose something with each bleed. When they are found in the brainstem, the most compact and important part of the brain, cavernomas may represent a threat to a patient's life. As might be expected, even a 5cc hemorrhage into the jam-packed area of the brainstem may cause difficulty swallowing, double vision, loss of facial function, and even loss of consciousness.

http://www.hopeforkids.com/body_hemangioma.html

Extractions: Hemangiomas are non-cancerous vascular tumors which usually appear in the first month after birth. Their rapid growth can be very alarming to parents. This growth lasts between three to eight months, rarely longer. They generally stay about the same size and color for six months to a year and a half before gradually fading and becoming smaller. We call this improvement involution. Unfortunately, involution lasts anywhere from four to ten years. While hemangiomas improve dramatically with time, they usually leave some residual reminder of the birthmark - a different skin texture or pigmentation. If significant, surgery may be required. Hemangiomas can cause a number of problems. The most common issue with hemangiomas is they can be very disfiguring, particularly on a visible portion of the body. It is frequently very difficult for families to cope with the stares and comments which can affect the child as well. Occasionally, they ulcerate and cause a wound or sore. These ulcerations can be very uncomfortable. When near the eye, hemangiomas can cause astigmatism or interfere with eyelid opening, which may affect the child's ability to develop vision in that eye. A very small percentage of hemangiomas may cause more problems, such as respiratory obstruction, heart failure, or blood clotting difficulties.

In addition there was a complex lession at the inferior tip of the right lobe of the liver ( shown by arrow First past images from the blood pool study (above) show no areas of increased flow. Planar delayed images show two areas of increase uptake (the lesion in the dome of the right lobe corresponding to the hyperechoic lesion is shown by arrow heads; the lesion at the tip of the right lobe is shown by arrows; also seen are the blood pools of the heart, H, and the spleen, S). Coronal SPECT images show these two areas of increased blood pool. Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of the liver, noted in up to 7% of patients on autopsy series. Up to 20% are multiple. Histology demonstrates an overgrowth of enlarged endothelial lined vascular spaces. While almost always asymptomatic, these tumors have been associated with abdominal pain, fullness, and belching. Complications are similarly rare, but have included bleeding, infarction, necrosis, and thrombocytopenia. The clinical importance of these incidentally discovered tumors relates to distinguishing them from malignancies.

Extractions: There are two types of blood vessel problems that occur in children, and it is important to distinguish between the two to provide a proper diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. History and physical examination can correctly diagnose the vast majority of patients, although additional diagnostic scanning may be helpful. The most common are hemangiomas, which are composed of proliferating (multiplying) tiny blood vessels known as capillaries. Hemangiomas occur in up to 10% of infants, making them the most common benign tumor of infancy. Girls are affected three times as often as Inpatient Facilities 610 -902-2400 (Radnor) boys are. Most are not present at birth, but appear during the first few weeks of life. Superficial hemangiomas grow in the dermis layer of the skin and commonly begin as small strawberry-colored dots that progressively enlarge. Subcutaneous hemangiomas grow beneath the skin and appear blue, and many hemangiomas have both a superficial and a deep component. Many physicians still incorrectly call subcutaneous hemangiomas "cavernous hemangiomas". They may think the blue color is due to larger vessels, when it is actually their deeper location that gives the capillaries a blue hue. Hemangiomas may also grow internally, involving areas such as the parotid gland, the eye region, the airway, and the liver. The majority of hemangiomas occur in the head and neck area, but they can grow anywhere. Infants can have more than one hemangioma, and they often vary in size and grow at different rates.

Extractions: worldcf@worldnet.att.net Hemangiomas Hemangioma and vascular malformations are frequently discussed in the same setting with the thinking being that these two conditions are due to their vascular nature. In fact, these lesions are completely different with different presentations, treatments, and long term outcomes. A hemangioma is a non-malignant tumor which is made up of rapidly growing endothelial or vascular cells. They may be capillary, cavernous or mixed in origin. Usually these lesions appear at the time of birth, or shortly thereafter, as a small spot that appears pink or red. They may present on the face or elsewhere on the body. In may cases, this is the only manifestation of the process. However, there are times when these lesions will undergo rapid growth during the newborn period. This rapid growth phase will last from 6 to10 months and during this time may grow very large. Problems that may occur during this stage include bleeding, infection, mass effect and the possible obstruction of critical structures such as the mouth, nose, eyes or ears, which would require early treatment. Active therapies available today include laser treatment, injection and or oral corticosteroids, the utilization of interferon, pressure dressings, or direct surgical excision.

(See also birthmarks, pigmented There are two main categories of birthmarks. Red birthmarks are a vascular type of birthmark. Pigmented birthmarks are areas in which the color of the birthmark is different from the color of the rest of the skin. Strawberry hemangiomas (strawberry mark, nevus vascularis, capillary hemangioma, hemangioma simplex) may appear anywhere on the body, but are most common on the face, scalp, back, or chest. They consist of small, closely packed blood vessels. They may be absent at birth, and develop at several weeks. They usually grow rapidly, remain a fixed size, and then subside. 95% of strawberry hemangiomas disappear by the time the child is 9 years old, although there may be some slight discoloration or puckering of the skin where a strawberry hemangioma existed.

http://www.tuotromedico.com/temas/hemangiomas.htm

Extractions: HEMANGIOMAS (Lunares vasculares en niños) CONCEPTO Y DESCRIPCION TRATAMIENTO CONCEPTO Y DESCRIPCIÓN La palabra hemangioma viene del griego " hemagio -" que quiere decir relacionado con los vasos sanguíneos, y "- oma " que representa una hinchazón o tumor. Los hemangiomas son el tumor benigno que más comúnmente se presenta en los recién nacidos, aunque generalmente el recién nacido no demuestra el lunar vascular al nacer, sino que lo va desarrollando durante sus primeras semanas de vida. Son más frecuentes en niñas que varones (3 a 1). Tienen una incidencia de 10-12% en la población general. La mayoría se encuentran en el área de la cabeza y el cuello, seguido del tronco y las extremidades. Son tumores hechos de múltiples vasos sanguíneos (venas y capilares) que le dan a la piel un color rojizo y elevado característico. En ocasiones se pueden encontrar internamente en el hígado, el pulmón y el tracto gastrointestinal. Los hemangiomas crecen rápidamente durante los primeros meses de vida del niño, hasta los 10 meses de edad. Una vez pasa esta etapa, el tumor crece a la par que el resto del cuerpo y empieza a desarrollar una regresión. Ya para los 5 años de edad su color rojizo se ha ido, y para los 10 años de edad ha desaparecido completamente, aunque siempre va a quedar una marca tenue y pálida del área. Algunos hemangiomas (en los labios y en el area genito-anal) tienden a ulcerarse y sangrar durante esta etapa de involución.
