BACKGROUND Hepatic haemangiomas are congenital vascular malformations. They are the most common benign tumours of the liver and are often asymptomatic. Spontaneous or traumatic rupture, intratumoral bleeding, consumption coagulopathy and rapid growth are the mandatory surgical indications. We present our experience over the last 15 years with the surgical management of 15 liver haemangiomas to ...

Introduction:  Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of neonatal jaundice, for which surgery is indicated. It may lead to portal hypertension and esophageal varices. Sometimes, BA is related to other congenital anomalies and malformation, while a coexistence of BA with facial hemangioma has not been reported, yet. Infantile hemangioma is a childhood benign vascular tumor. Beta bloc...

Abstract Background Cavernous hepatic haemangiomas are benign liver tumours and although common when small, giant (usually accepted as being greater than 10cm) infrequent. Treatment is indicated in patients who symptomatic or if diagnosis unclear, with haemangiomas, many support expectant management of asymptomatic lesions due to the risk major complications. Traditionally resection has been pr...

Cardiac haemangiomas are exceptionally rare benign vascular tumours. We report a case of cardiac haemangioma presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin and clinical features simulating sepsis with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The clinical course was complicated by systemic embolism.

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 ...

HAEMANGIOMAS are well-known formations; they occur all over the body although they are exceedingly rare in the orbit. It is not our intention here to discuss the pathology of these neoplasms or malformations, as this has already been done adequately by Ewing (1940), Boyd (1947), and Willis (1948). For a comprehensive bibliography on orbital tumours and, in particular, on orbital haemangiomas, r...

A 6-month-old girl with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, multiple haemangiomas (axillary, laryngeal, pulmonary and hepatic) and diaphragmatic eventration was reported. All tumours responded to treatment with propranolol. The surgical correction of diaphragmatic eventration was crucial to a better outcome.
