The terms verrucous hemangioma and angiokeratoma circumscriptum have been used interchangeably in the literature to define clinically similar lesions. From a histologic perspective, however, angiokeratoma circumscriptum is limited to the papillary dermis whereas verrucous hemangioma extends as far as the hypodermis. We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman who consulted for a lesion on the r...

PURPOSE Dramatic improvement of hemangioma to propranolol has been recently reported; however, details on dose and duration of treatment, potential risks, and monitoring have not been determined. The objective of this study is to describe and analyze the use of propranolol as a first-line treatment or as a single therapy in management of complicated hemangioma. METHODS A retrospective chart r...

RATIONALE Hemangiomas are benign tumors characterized by an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels, most often occur in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, intramuscular hemangioma, a distinctive type of hemangioma within the skeletal muscle, account for <1% of all hemangiomas, temporalis muscle is a very uncommon site, cavernous hemangioma of the temporalis muscle with prominent formation of ph...

Abstract: Hemangioma of the thyroid gland is a rare diagnosis and less than 35 cases have been previously published in literature. The pathogenesis unknown but it suggested to be developmental anomaly which associated with an incapability angioblastic mesenchyma form canals. On microscopic examination, should distinguished from reactive endothelial hyperplasia, angiosarcoma or hemangiosarcoma. ...

Observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on board the SOHO spacecraft. We have investigated the diierences in characteristics of the cell and network regions. It has been found that the powerlaw distribution of energy (f(E) = f o E ?) is diierent in the cell and network regions, with the cell region having higher values of. This result is found irrespectiv...

Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome (KMS) is a rare disorder that can affect infants from the time of birth or later in infancy. Diagnosis of KMS is made based on the constellation of hemangioma, thrombocytopenia, and coagulopathy. Our case presented at birth with hemangioma on perineal area and bleeding tendancy. On evaluation thrombocytopenia and coaguloepathy were found and diagnosis KMS was establish...

We report a rare case of an umbilical cord hemangioma. The umbilical cord consisted of Capillaries and cavernous blood vessels and the hemangioma stressed umbilical arteries and vein. At 40 weeks of gestation, it resulted in intrauterine death of the fetus. Microscopically, there were lots of vessels with various thicknesses in the umbilical cord. Autopsy shows evidences of smothering. These fi...

We report the case of a 38-year-old Asian, Indian female with capillary hemangioma breast in coexistence with the commonly occurring fibroadenoma. Clinical examination of the breast revealed a 4 cm diameter lump. Mammography revealed a well defined slightly hypoechoic lesion with smooth contours. A lumpectomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a completely encapsulated fib...

We report a case of hepatic cavernous hemangioma with computed tomographic findings of well demarcated nodular lesser attenuation foci within the main low attenuation mass on precontrast scans and non-enhancement of the foci even on the delayed contrast scans. These have been described as one of the atypical findings of cavernous hemangioma earlier in the literature. Surgery proved that scleros...

We present a 53-year-old female suffering from familial adenomatous polyposis, who was found to have a positive nodus, lateral to the hilus of the left lung, on routine FDG-PET scan. This lesion was found to be a sclerosing hemangioma. We found an aberrant beta-catenin expression on immunohistochemical staining, suggesting that sclerosing hemangioma and familial adenomatous polyposis share the ...
