Infantile hemangioma is a benign endothelial tumor composed of disorganized blood vessels. It exhibits a unique life cycle of rapid postnatal growth followed by slow regression to a fibrofatty residuum. Here, we have reported the isolation of multipotential stem cells from hemangioma tissue that give rise to hemangioma-like lesions in immunodeficient mice. Cells were isolated based on expressio...

Hemangioma is a common benign soft-tissue tumor; however, intramuscular hemangioma presenting with pathological fracture an infrequent occurrence. Imaging plays key role in diagnosing this entity. We report case of 30-year-old male who presented the left femur following trivial trauma. Clinical examination was remarkable for significant swelling which on further radiological investigation revea...

BACKGROUND Hemangiomas, usually, present at the first few months of life and are the most common benign tumor in children. There are various therapeutic methods for hemangioma. Capillary hemangioma is a type of hemangiomas. The steps of treatment of a child with capillary hemangioma in Taleghani Hospital of Gorgan, Iran, are reported. CASE REPORT In this report, it is described an 18-month-ol...

sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is extremely rare.  herein, a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung in a 44-year-old woman is reported.  on admission, the patient complained of pain in the left lower neck and upper chest.  chest x-ray revealed a mass in lingular lobe of the left lung.  the patient underwent surgery and a mass was removed through left posterolateral thoracotomy.  pathologi...

Infantile hemangioma, a common benign tumor of infancy, grows quickly in the first year of life, and then regresses slowly to fibrofatty tissue in childhood. The accumulation of fibrofatty tissue in hemangioma involution indicates adipogenesis during this period. Perivascular cells (PCs) from multiple organs display multi-lineage differentiation, including adipogenesis. So we supposed that PCs ...

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...
