Research has demonstrated that how "cute" an infant is perceived to be has consequences for caregiving. Infants with facial abnormalities receive lower ratings of cuteness, but relatively little is known about how different abnormalities and their location affect these aesthetic judgements. The objective of the current study was to compare the impact of different abnormalities on the perception...

Periocular haemangiomas of infancy can cause severe and rapid ocular damage. Oral corticosteroids remain the front-line treatment to minimize the consequences of these haemangiomas. The aim of this report is to summarize our experience with pulse intravenous methylprednisolone as an alternative therapy for periocular haemangioma when visual prognosis is engaged. Fifteen infants, who presented p...

An intracardiac haemangioma with papillary endothelial hyperplasia (PEH) and liver involvement has not been previously reported in the English literature. This report describes a 65 year old man with a left ventricular haemangioma with PEH coexistent with multiple nodular hepatic haemangiomas. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography identified a large tumour in the left ventricular ...

Hemangiomas are benign tumors originating in the vascular tissues of skin, mucosa, muscles, glands, and bones. Although these tumors are common lesions of the head and neck, they rarely occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Cavernous haemangioma of the lateral wall of the nasopharynx has not previously been reported. We examined the clinical, radiological and therapeutic management o...

INTRODUCTION Infantile haemangioma is the commonest benign tumour in infancy. While the management of the majority of small haemangiomas consists of simply watching or steroid treatment, giant and moderate size infantile haemangiomas are challenging problems, especially in health systems with limited resources in developing countries. CASE PRESENTATION A one-year old boy was presented to us b...

The article titled " Oral haemangioma " [1], published in Case Reports in Medicine, has been retracted as it is found to contain a substantial amount of material from the paper " Capillary hemangioma of palatal mucosa,

We describe the successful relief of compression of the spinal cord due to a vertebral haemangioma by transcatheter embolisation using cyanoacrylate compounds before operation, and provide a brief review of the literature.

We report an unusual case of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) with angioma-like vascularity in the central scar illustrated on MRI and proven by histopathology. The vascular theory of common causative factors in FNH and haemangioma is discussed.

We present a case of rare orbital roof haemangioma infiltrating the medial and lateral walls of the orbit, zygomatic bone and lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid. The tumour was totally excised by the frontolateral approach, followed by craniofacial and orbital roof reconstruction.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the stomach is a very rare lesion. A case of a gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the stomach and hepatic syringious haemangioma is described. We report an 80-year-old male who had an exophytic mass in the area of the pylorus and the duodenum, where hepatic cysts were found in the magnetic resonan...
