Liver Hemangiomas: Infantile Vs. Adult Hepatic Hemangiomas - Expert Opinion
Detailed Information on Various Birthmarks, hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations.
http://www.birthmarks.us/liver_hemangioma.htm

Extractions: Liver (hepatic) Hemangiomas Two different types of Hepatic Hemangiomas should NOT be confused: Infant ile Hepatic Hemangioma Liver tumors seen in newborns and infants. These tumors are infantile hemangiomas, but may have various clinical presentations and imaging features. Click the subtitle for more information. Adult Hepatic Hemangioma These lesions, commonly called as "cavernous hemangiomas of the liver", are usually incidentally detected with ultrasound or CT or MRI scan in adulthood. It is believed that these liver lesions are venous malformations of the liver (similar to soft tissue venous malformations ) and do not represent neoplastic (tumor) tissue. Some large tumors may be symptomatic and may require treatment. Click the subtitle for more information about these hepatic (liver) lesions.
Hemangioma Questions And Answers
hemangiomas differ from other vascular birthmarks in that they are biologically active, their growth is dependent from the growth of the child.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The classically recognized hemangioma is a visible red skin lesion that may be in the top skin layers ( capillary hemangioma ), deeper in the skin (cavernous hemangioma), or a mixture of both. Hemangiomas are usually present at birth, although they may appear within a few months after birth, often beginning at a site that has appeared slightly dusky or differently colored than the surrounding tissue. Hemangiomas, both deep and superficial, undergo a rapid growth phase in which the volume and size increase rapidly. This phase is followed by a rest phase, in which the hemangioma changes very little, and an involutional phase in which the hemangioma begins to disappear.

Z Contents of this page: Stork bite Hemangioma on the face (nose) Hemangioma on the chin Alternative names Return to top Strawberry mark; Vascular skin changes; Angioma cavernosum; Capillary hemangioma; Hemangioma simplex Definition Return to top Red birthmarks are colored, vascular (blood vessel) skin markings that develop before or shortly after birth. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top There are 2 main categories of birthmarks. Red birthmarks are made up of blood vessels close to the skin surface, and are called vascular birthmarks. Pigmented birthmarks are areas in which the color of the birthmark is different from the color of the rest of the skin. Hemangiomas are a common vascular birthmark. They are usually painless and harmless. The cause of hemangioma is unknown. The color results from the extensive development of blood vessels at the site. 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.

Extractions: The word hemangioma comes from the Latin words hemangio meaning blood vessel and oma meaning tumor with active cell dividing activity. Hemangiomas differ from other vascular birthmarks in that they are biologically active, their growth is dependent from the growth of the child. They are the most common benign tumor of infants. Hemangioma growth is referred to as Hyperplasia , where as other vascular birthmarks growth is referred to as Hypertrophy Q. Who gets hemangiomas? 1 in 100 children each year in the U.S. will be born with a vascular birthmark that requires the opinion of a specialist (40,000). Most hemangiomas appear within a week or two after birth. Hemangiomas are up to 5 times more common in girls than boys. They are less likely to occur in African American babies then Caucasian babies. They occur more frequently in premature infants. Q. Where do hemangiomas occur?

Preview : Despite their nonmalignant and self-limited nature, infantile hemangiomas can cause complications such as scarring, ulceration, and permanent disfigurement. A significant minority may also be complicated by vital organ compromise and associated developmental anomalies. In this article, Dr Metry discusses how to recognize lesions most at risk for complications, proper treatment approaches to hemangiomas in various locations, and pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions.
