Extractions: Choroidal Hemangioma Description: Hemangiomas can grow within the blood vessel layer beneath the retina called the choroid. If they are located in the macula (center of vision) or they leak fluid which causes a retinal detachment or cystic changes in the retina. These changes can effect your vision. Many choroidal hemangiomas never grow or leak fluid and may be observed without treatment. Choroidal hemangiomas are not cancers and never metastasize. Appearance: Most choroidal hemangiomas are reddish to orange. Some choroidal hemangiomas have areas of increased pigmentation which (in those cases) can make them difficult to differentiate from choroidal melanomas. Fluorescein Angiography: Eye-care specialists perform studies of the blood vessels in the eye with a vegetable dye called fluorescein. The dye is injected into the arm and travels to the blood vessels inside eye. If a tumor is in the eye, we can see specific characteristics of its circulation which can help us differentiate between it and other types of tumors. Choroidal hemangiomas have a unique pattern of circulation where the large blood vessels produce a "

Extractions: The Center is the first interdisciplinary program in the Mid-Atlantic region for treatment of hemangiomas and vascular birthmarks in children and adults. Its staff comprises five core specialists in plastic surgery, head and neck surgery, dermatology, and radiology and additional consultants in orthopedic surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, dentistry, genetics, and psychology. It has been estimated that up to 60 percent of vascular birthmarks are misdiagnosed, and many are therefore treated inadequately or inappropriately. The multidisciplinary approach to these complex disorders combines several expert opinions into a comprehensive treatment plan that may involve one or more of the Center's specialists and regular follow-up with the entire staff. The Center's physicians offer the latest advances in diagnostic, medical, laser, and surgical technology including: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including non-invasive angiography and venography Angiography and embolization Local and systemic steroid therapy Interferon therapy Surface and intralesional laser therapy, using pulsed dye, KIT, Nd:YAG, and carbon dioxide lasers

Extractions: Vascular birthmarks are the most common benign tumors of infancy, affecting approximately 400,000 babies each year. These are benign growths that range in appearance from flat, faintly red skin lesions to bulky deep lesions that can become large enough to interfere with vision, breathing, and swallowing. Vascular birthmarks are generally classified as either hemangiomas or vascular malformations. Hemangiomas are not usually visible at birth, but are recognized within days or weeks of delivery. They often appear in the head and neck area, but may occur anywhere on the skin or even internally. Hemangiomas initially appear as a flat, discolored area that may be mistaken for a bruise or rash. They usually undergo two periods of rapid growth, the first at 2 to 8 weeks of age and the second between 4 and 6 months of age. Hemangiomas, begin to regress, or involute, shortly after the first year of life. Some hemangiomas inviolate rapidly and leave behind skin changes that are barely noticeable. Others may take years to regress completely and still leave behind considerable deformities that require surgical correction. The Center's physicians use the latest advances in medical, laser, and surgical therapies to customize a treatment plan for each child. Vascular malformations , unlike hemangiomas, are usually present at birth and do not undergo a rapid growth phase. They do not involute, and will typically grow with the patient, often requiring surgical excision.

(See also birthmarks, pigmented Causes and Risks There are two main categories of birthmarks. Red birthmarks are a vascular type of birthmark. Pigmented birthmarks are areas where 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.

Extractions: Craniofacial Anomalies A hemangioma is a type of birthmark. 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. 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. Most hemangiomas are not usually present at birth or are very faint red marks. Shortly after birth, however, they grow rapidly - often faster than the child's growth. Over time, they become smaller (involute) and lighter in color. The process of involution may take several years.

Extractions: Dr. Miki Mochizuki Dr. Stéfano G. Jorge INTRODUÇO Hemangiomas são pequenos tumores benignos formados por vasos sanguíneos enovelados. Surgem durante a formação do embrião, antes do nascimento, podendo ocorrer em diversos órgãos, entre eles a pele e o fígado. Manchas de nascimento vermelhas normalmente são causadas por hemangiomas na pele. Em geral, o hemangioma permanece inalterado após o nascimento, podendo crescer mas raramente causa algum sintoma, principalmente quando está localizado no fígado. Lá, é encontrado geralmente ao acaso, por algum exame ( ultrassonografia, tomografia ou ressonância ) realizado por outro motivo. A comprovação diagnóstica se faz por exames de imagem e a conduta mais adequada é esperar. Hemangiomas gigantes que comprimam outros órgãos ou que cresçam muito podem necessitar de cirurgia, mas isso é raro. O que se aconselha é fazer exames anuais para avaliar o tamanho do tumor. Epidemiologia Acomete 0,4 a 7% da população; É mais freqüente em mulheres entre 30-40 anos e neonatos; Hemangiomas gigantes * Takagi e Sinanan Patologia Etiologia: incerta. Hamartomas congênitos (?)

Extractions: A 9 mm hemangioma is very small. It should not be causing any symptoms. Sometimes hemangiomas can get larger but most do not enlarge. Your physician may want to confirm that the lesion in the liver is indeed a hemangioma using a second imaging modality. Depending on that result it will be determined if this lesion needs to be periodically followed. Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumor of the liver.

Extractions: The National Craniofacial Association P. O. Box 11082 * Chattanooga, TN 37401 Vascular Birthmarks What is a Vascular Birthmark? Very often, different doctors will use different terms to describe the same lesion. Advances are rapidly taking place in this field of study, so be sure you and your healthcare provider study the most recent materials. The correct treatment requires the correct diagnosis. Generally, Vascular Birthmarks are divided into two categories: Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations. What are Hemangiomas? Hemangiomas are benign (non-cancerous) tumors that may or may not be apparent at birth, but always become visible within one to four weeks after birth. They usually occur on the head or neck, but they can occur anywhere, including the internal organs. The hemangioma will grow and change for the first 12 months of life and then "involute" or regress. The involution can last from three to 10 years. What are Vascular Malformations? Vascular Malformations are benign (non-cancerous) lesions that are present at birth, but which may not be visible for weeks or months after birth. Unlike hemangiomas, vascular malformations do not have a growth cycle and then regress they continue to slowly grow throughout life. There are five types: Port Wine Stains: Always present at birth and thought to be associated with a deficiency in the nerve supply to the blood vessels.

Extractions: Lasers have become a treatment of choice for some types of hemangiomas, and may be preferred even when a lesion ulcerates. During the first six months of life, 5-10% of hemangiomas ulcerate during their rapid growth phase. the ulcerated lesion is painful, may bleed and is at risk for bacterial infection. Traditional therapy includes daily wound car, topical antibiotics, and local or systemic steroids. To the regimen may be added treatment of the ulcerated lesion with a vascular-specific laser pulsed tunable dye laser. Laser treatment has been found to accelerate healing and reduce pain within few days, often after a single laser treatment. Anogenital hemangiomas of infancy are sometimes referred for laser treatment if they ulcerated and become infected. Laser-treated lesions heal in one to five weeks.

http://www.kidsplastsurg.com/hemanclass.html

Extractions: Benign vascular malformations of the newborn have been difficult to classify because of their great variety and overlap in clinical and histopathologic appearance. One method of classification is based upon whether or no the lesion has proliferative and regressive phases: hemangiomas do have such phases, and are called cellularly dynamic; vascular ectasias, such as port-wine stain and salmon patches, are called cellularly adynamic because they lack proliferative/regressive phases. Hemangiomas and lymphangionas are the most common benign tumors of the skin and deeper tissues in the newborn. They represent sequestration of fetal tissue, and may be present at birth or appear in the first months after birth. clinically classified, capillary hemangiomas include port-wine stain, strawberry hemangioma and salmon patch. Other clinical classifications of hemangiomas are capillary/cavernous, cavernous, and verrucous, keratotic or venous.

Extractions: HEMANGIOMAS AND VASCULAR MALFORMATIONS Hemangioma, a type of birthmark, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor made up of rapidly growing vascular cells. These congenital lesions are not necessarily apparent at birth but appear from 1-4 weeks afterwards (may initially manifest as a faint red mark). In fact, only 30% are visible at birth. Usually occurring on the head or neck, hemangiomas can appear anywhere, even on the internal organs. This type of birthmark is typified by its rapid growth and change during the first year and then its regression or slow disappearance which can last from 3-10 years. Some disappear completely while others only partially fade. The vast majority of hemangiomas occur on the head and neck. In early stages some appear as reddish or bluish spots or patches. Vascular Malformation is a congenital growth or birthmark that is composed of blood vessels. Unlike hemangiomas, vascular malformations due not These malformations are categorized into five types: Port Wine Stains: Capillary malformation that cause a change in skin color and may be associated with nerve supply deficiency to blood vessels.
