چکیده
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of bleomycin A5 on infantile maxillofacial haemangiomas. METHODS Bleomycin A5 was given by multiple intralesinoal injections and the dosage was given according to the age of the patient and size of the lesion. Parts of patients were accompanied by prednisone treatment (2-5 mg/kg, po, QOD. RESULTS All the haemangiomas involutes completely after treated with bloemycin A5 with better recovery of skin color and less scar forming in small haemangiomas. CONCLUSION Infantile haemangioma could be effectively treated with bleomycin A5 without serious side effects.

Bleomycin is used in combination with other antineoplastic agents to effectively treat lymphomas, testicular carcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix, head, and neck. However, resistance to bleomycin remains a persistent limitation in exploiting the full therapeutic benefit of the drug with other types of cancers. Previously, we documented that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae L-carni...

Sir, Infantile haemangioma is a fairly common vascular tumour of the skin in infancy. In contrast, infantile subglottic haemangioma is rare, accounting for about 1.5% of all congenital laryngeal anomalies (1). However, it often causes stridor in infancy and sometimes leads to life-threatening respiratory distress (2). We report here a case of infantile haemangiomas on the face, neck and chest t...

AIM To investigate whether extracutaneous infantile haemangioma-like tumours are immunohistochemically similar to cutaneous infantile haemangiomas. METHODS Mammary, salivary gland, liver (one each), and placental (two cases) capillary haemangiomas and typical examples of cutaneous (eight cases) infantile haemangioma were investigated immunohistochemically for alpha smooth muscle actin and Glu...
