BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Liver hemangioma, the most common benign liver tumor, can be safely managed by clinical observation. However, surgical treatment should be considered in a subset of patients with giant hemangioma with abdominal symptoms. We reviewed the feasibility of total laparoscopic liver resection for giant hemangioma of >6 cm in diameter. METHODS Nine consecutive patients who underwent ...

Rapid postnatal growth and slow involution in childhood characterize the common infantile hemangioma. There are other rare vascular tumors that present fully grown at birth and behave quite differently, as designated by the acronyms: rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH) and noninvoluting congenital hemangioma (NICH). RICH and NICH have similarities in appearance, location, size, equa...

Infantile hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor in early childhood. Propranolol has been successfully used recently in a limited number of children with Infantile hemangioma. We present 6 cases of Infantile hemangioma, at a single dermatological center, which responded to oral propranolol with good results.

Nasal lobular capillary hemangioma is a benign lesion of unknown etiology, which is commonly associated with pregnancy, oral contraceptives and trauma. Epistaxis and nasal obstruction are the most marked symptoms.5 The nasal cavity is a rare location for lobular capillary hemangioma.2 We are presenting a case of lobular capillary hemangioma which was located on the posterior end of middle turbi...

by increasing number of vessels. salivary gland tumors are uncommon and their overall incidence is about 3 per 100000 per year. salivary gland hemangioma makes up 1 % of all salivary gland tumors. trismus resulting from parotid hemangioma is so rare. the patient was a 6-month-old boy with a huge lesion in his right parotid who referred to shahid sadoughi hospital of yazd, iran. the lesion appea...

Hemangiomas are the most common congenital lesions in man and occur predominantly in the head and neck region. Massive hemangioma especially near vital organs or structures pose a challenge to surgeons. With the availability of expertise in embolization of feeding vessel of the hemangioma and reconstructive techniques we were able to manage successfully a complicated case of massive facial hema...

Sclerosing hemangioma of the liver is an unusual tumor type. Because of its rarity and atypical radiologic findings, sclerosing hemangiomas can be difficult to distinguish from other lesions such as hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, metastasis, and organized abscesses. In this issue, we present a case consisting of both hepatic sclerosing hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma in a 63-...

Infantile hemangioma is clinically classified as superficial, superficial and deep (mixed), and deep. Dermoscopy can be used for analyzing vascular structure and for classifying infantile hemangioma. Here, we focus on vascular features of the superficial and deep type of infantile hemangioma and show the three characteristic dermoscopic forms, mostly reddish, diffuse reddish, and cerebriform re...

We report a case of cavernous hemangioma originating in the maxillary sinus. This is an unusual location for hemangioma, and this case also had a rare presentation involving bone erosion. The substantial bone destruction and resultant widening of the right ostiomeatal complex made it difficult to differentiate this cavernous hemangioma from malignant epithelial tumors.
