    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.

    American Osteopathic College of Dermatology skin disease database hemangiomas are strawberrycolored.

    Extractions: Hemangiomas are strawberry-colored "birthmarks". They are not rare, and vary from tiny blebs to large and multiple tumor-like growths. They are not true birthmarks since they are mostly not seen at birth, but start in infancy and then begin to grow. Hemangiomas first appear from birth up to 18 months, and then slowly shrink. Port wine stains and other true birthmarks are fully formed at birth and do not grow wider. Doctors disagree over how hemangiomas should be dealt with. The answer may depend on whether you see a dermatologist, plastic surgeon or other specialist. Because many of the smaller birthmarks resolve on their own with no intervention, most doctors agree that you should leave small hemangiomas that are not growing alone, especially if they are on skin normally covered by clothing. Hemangiomas that require early aggressive treatment include those that are cosmetically deforming, growing rapidly or obstructing vision, hearing, breathing, eating or any other body function. Hemangiomas on the lower face and neck may later block internal airways. Large facial hemangiomas may cause psychosocial impairment. Also, larger hemangiomas that are left alone to regress (shrink away over years) will eventually look better if the resulting saggy, stretched out skin and fatty tissue is surgically removed. Most hemangiomas when first diagnosed are superficial only. These can be treated with a laser as soon as they are diagnosed, and early treatment is key as laser becomes less effective if you wait. The laser selects the red and shrinks the vessels so that the result is a less noticeable lesion. Repeated treatments can almost completely remove the superficial component. However, since the laser can only penetrate 1-3mm, it cannot shrink any deep component. Sometimes early treatment will prevent further growth, although deeper portions may still persist and grow. The flash-lamp pulse dye, pump dye and sclero-laser are the primary lasers used for treating hemangiomas. The risk of scarring is small. Complete removal of every trace should not be expected.

    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.

HEMANGIOMAS OF THE HEAD AND NECK June 25, 1992 Hemangiomas are benign vascular anomalies which may occur in various areas throughout the body with 50% being located in the head and neck. Vascular anomalies are the most common head and neck tumor in infancy and childhood with hemangiomas and lymphatic malformations comprising the majority of these lesions. Classification Clinical Course Hemangiomas are usually not present at birth but are antedated by a pale, well-circumscribed flat area that may contain some central telangiectasia. The actual hemangioma will appear within the first month and will continue to increase in size for the next 3-8 months. A stable phase of relatively no growth then occurs over the next 6-12 months followed by slow involution of the tumor by ages 5-7 years. They can occur just about anywhere in the head and neck, but are more common in the parotid, lip, oral cavity, perinasal region, and larynx or subglottis. The complications of these lesions are ulceration, infection, bleeding, compression syndromes (airway compromise), thrombocytopenia, and even high output cardiac failure. Psychiatric problems are not uncommon given the sever cosmetic deformities that are associated with facial tumors.

It is the most common benign (non-cancerous) tumor of the skin. Hemangiomas may be present at birth (faint red mark) or may appear in the first months after birth. A hemangioma is also known as a port wine stain, strawberry hemangioma, and salmon patch.  About 87 percent of hemangiomas occur in the head or neck area. Hemangiomas occur five times more often in females than in males. A vascular malformation is another type of birthmark, or congenital (present at birth) growth, made up of arteries, veins, capillaries, or lymphatic vessels. There are several different types of malformations and they are named according to which type of blood vessel is predominantly affected. A vascular malformation is also known as lymphangioma, arteriovenous malformations, and vascular gigantism. What is the difference between a hemangioma and a vascular malformation?

    Extractions: What are they? What do they look like? ... Risks and side effects A hemangioma is a non-cancerous, blood-filled growth. It is very common, especially in low birth weight premature infants. It may be present at birth or it may not appear until the first few weeks or even months after birth. While this lesion commonly occurs on the head ( illustrations 1-3 ) or neck ( illustration 4 ), it can occur in any region of the body ( illustrations 5-6 ). Some hemangiomas are very small and hardly visible, whereas others are large and disfiguring ( illustration 7 ) and can even be life threatening. What causes them is not yet understood, but it is not related to drugs or medications that may have been taken during pregnancy, nor is it related to environmental exposures that may have occurred during that time. It is a congenital condition that occurs for unknown reasons. These lesions almost always have a period of growth, which is referred to as their proliferative (growing) phase, and a period of shrinkage, which is referred to as their involutive (shrinking) phase (

    Extractions: They’re alarmed, sometimes panicky, and often want instant treatment. That’s how parents of newborns typically react when they first see hemangiomas: benign, blood-filled tumors that occur in up to 12 percent of all infants, mostly on the neck and head. They can be one or many, small and flat, or as large as a golf ball protruding from some part of the face. As distressing as they are to look at, there’s good news about these growths that sometimes spread across two-thirds of an infant's face. "Hemangiomas never turn into cancer," says John Greinwald, MD , associate director of the Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "They're unique tumors because this tumor turns itself off." Why and when they form no one is certain, according to Dr. Greinwald. He and other team members assure parents that they should not feel guilty; nothing they did during pregnancy caused these growths.

Hemangioma is the most common type of vascular birthmark. It is a benign tumor of endothelial cells that form the inner lining of blood vessels. Hemangiomas generally appear during the first weeks of life and grow rapidly for six to 10 months. Then they begin a much slower process of shrinking, or regressing, which may take from one to seven years. Finally, the tumor enters its final, shrunken state, after which it will not regrow. Tumor regression is complete in half of children by age 5 and in 70% of children by age 7. How common are hemangiomas? They are the most common benign tumor in infants. Between 4-10% of infants have at least one hemangioma. They are three to five times more common in females than in males and occur more frequently in Caucasian infants than in Asian -American or African-American infants. The incidence of hemangiomas may be as high as 24% in premature infants with low birth weight (fewer than 1000 grams). What causes hemangiomas?
