Combined oral propranolol with intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide in treatment of infantile periocular hemangiomas

Aim To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combined oral propranolol with intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of infantile periorbital capillary hemangioma. Patients and Methods This prospective interventional study included children diagnosed with periocular infantile hemangiomas in the proliferative phase with vision-threatening lesions. The children prese...

Safety and efficacy of intralesional steroid injection for aggressive fibromatosis

BACKGROUND Treatment of recurrent aggressive fibromatosis (AF) following surgical resection is a clinical challenge. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been reported to be an effective option for controlling the disease. However, long-term NSAID use can result in unfavorable complications. This study was a trial of the use of intralesional steroid injection (ILSI) including inv...

Nucleolar organiser regions in fibrous proliferations of childhood and infantile fibrosarcoma.

A silver colloid technique to identify nucleolar organiser region associated protein (AgNOR) was applied to 16 fibrous proliferations of childhood and six low grade fibrosarcomas. The fibrous proliferations comprised five cases of infantile digital fibromatosis, seven of infantile desmoid type fibromatosis, and four of infantile myofibromatosis. The AgNORs were visualised as dots within the nuc...

Plantar fibromatosis responds to intralesional steroids.

A case of plantar fibromatosis that responded to five monthly intralesional steroid injections is reported. Improvement was noted after 3 to 4 months of therapy. Intralesional steroid injections may represent an alternative to surgery in patients with plantar fibromatosis or Dupuytren's contractures.
