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.

   Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Hematology/Oncology MANAGEMENT OF LIFE THREATENING HEMANGIOMAS Hemangioma of infancy is an angiomatous disorder characterized by the proliferation of capillary endothelium, with multilamination of the basement membrane and the accumulation of mast cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages. In this angiogenic disease, the abnormal growth of capillaries results in tissue damage, sometimes with fatal consequences. Hemangioma is the most common tumor of infancy, occurring in 10-12% of whites and in up to 22% of preterm babies weighing less than 1000g. The female to male preponderance is 3:1. Cutaneous hemangiomas are the most common, they usually appear as a single tumor, although multiple cutaneous lesions also occur, often with involvement of other organs (generalized hemangiomatosis). The cutaneous hemangiomas are rarely fully grown at birth. They usually appear during the first few weeks of life as an erythematous macule, a blanched spot, or localized telangiectasia. However they have rapid postnatal growth for 8 to 18 months (proliferative phase), followed by very slow but inevitable regression for the next 5 to 8 years (involutive phase). There is complete resolution of hemangiomas in over 50% by the age of 7 years, with continued improvement in the remaining children until the age of 10-12 years. The rate of regression is not related to the sex or age of the infant, the duration of the proliferative phase, or the site, size, or appearance of the hemangiomas.

The remaining seventy percent become visible within one to four weeks after birth. Hemangiomas occur 5 times more often in females than in males and occur predominantly in Caucasians. Low birthweight infants (less than 2.2 pounds) have a twenty six percent chance of developing a hemangioma. The cause of hemangiomas has not been determined, and neither parent should bear guilt over the occurrence or appearance of one of these birthmarks. 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 eighty three percent occur on the head and neck area. The remaining seventeen percent appear throughout the 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.

   Extractions: John Greinwald, MD , associate director of the Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Center 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. What to Expect Typically the hemangioma grows rapidly during the first 6 to 12 months of life, then shrinks over the next few years. Hemangiomas almost always involute (the blood vessel part goes away), 50 percent of them shrinking by the time the child is age 5, 70 percent by age 7, and almost all by age 10. After the blood vessel part resolves, a residual fatty mass or skin changes sometimes occur. About 5 to 10 percent of hemangiomas require evaluation, either because they give the child a deformed appearance, they impair breathing or swallowing, or they occur on an organ deep inside the body, such as the liver or spleen.

    Extractions: 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 (

When our son was two weeks old, a pink mark appeared between his nose and mouth. Since then the mark has grown to almost the size of a dime and has become bright red and slightly raised. Our doctor has told us it is a strawberry hemangioma birthmark and will most likely get bigger. We are upset because the mark is in a prominent spot and is the first thing people notice about our son. How large is it likely to get, and what, if anything, can be done to remove this mark?

    http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/hemangiomas.html
    
    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.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The classically recognized hemangioma is a visible red skin lesion that may be superficial in the skin (in the top layers, called a 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 of birth often beginning at a site that has appeared slightly dusky or colored differently than the surrounding tissue. Hemangiomas, both deep and superficial, undergo a rapid growth phase in which their volume and size increase rapidly. This phase is followed by a rest phase, in which the hemangioma changes very little, and an involutional phase where the hemangioma undergoes spontaneous regression. During the involutional phase, hemangiomas may disappear completely. Large cavernous hemangiomas distort the skin around them and despite full involution, will ultimately leave visible changes in the skin. The more superficial capillary hemangioma may involute completely, leaving no evidence of its past presence.

Los hemangiomas fresa (nevos en fresa, nevo vascular, hemangioma capilar, hemangioma simple) pueden desarrollarse en cualquier parte del cuerpo, pero más comúnmente en la cara, en el cuero cabelludo, en la espalda o en el pecho. Estas manchas son pequeños paquetes de vasos sanguíneos ocluidos que pueden estar ausentes al momento del nacimiento y aparecer en pocas semanas; usualmente son de crecimiento rápido, conservan un tamaño fijo y luego desaparecen. Un 95% de los hemangiomas fresa desaparece a los 9 años de edad, pero puede quedar algún tipo de despigmentación leve o arrugas en el área de la piel donde estaban localizados.
