To determine which patient and maternal factors are associated with the occurrence and the severity of infantile haemangioma (IH), a single-centre retrospective observational study was conducted with 96 haemangioma patients and 143 age-matched control babies, born in the same hospital between March 2012 and March 2013. The IH patients were selected according to diagnosis from dermatologists, ei...

intramuscular haemangiomas are benign malformations of blood vessels occurring in skeletal muscles. Because of the rarity of these lesions, their deep location and variable clinical presentation, they often pose diagnostic difficulties. We herein present the first reported case of intramuscular haemangioma occurring in the levator anguli oris muscle. A 26-year-old man was referred to our Depart...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Haemangiomas are common benign tumours of infancy that consist of rapidly proliferating endothelial cells. A locus for an autosomal dominant predisposition to haemangioma has been identified recently on chromosome 5q. This study aimed to investigate loss of heterozygosity on chromosomes 5 and 9 in haemangiomas. METHODS Sporadic proliferative phase haemangiomas were microdissec...

They account for less than 1% ...

A haemangioma is a benign self-evolving tumour of the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels. Its characteristic is increased number of normal or abnormal vessels filled with blood. It is more commonly seen in infancy or early childhood. Commonest sites in the oral cavity are lips, tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. We are reporting a rare case of 55 yr old lady with haemangioma of tongue. C...

A 21 year old woman presented with multiple lobulated lesions on the labia majora. The surface of most of the lesions was ulcerated revealing a glistening surface. All lesions were excised. The histopathology revealed features suggestive of lobular capillary haemangioma (pyogenic granuloma). Pyogenic granuloma is considered as a reactive hyperproliferative vascular response to trauma or other s...

Treatment for haemangioma of the spinal cord often results in extensive bony resection that necessitates fusion and/or instrumentation. We report on a 75-year-old man who presented with neuropathic pain and muscle weakness of both lower limbs, secondary to an epidural haemangioma at T11-T12, extending laterally into the neuroforamen. The tumour was resected within the neuroforamen after a parti...

A “haemangioma”(Greek for blood-vessel-growth) of Infancy is a benign overgrowth of blood vessel cells in the skin. It is also known as proliferative haemangioma because it is due to proliferating endothelial cells; these are the cells that line blood vessels. The incidence ranges from 1% in neonates to 12% [1]. These are known to appear soon after birth, proliferate for 8-18 months, and then s...

background : the liver which is a vascular organ can easily be lacerated or crushed, depending on the severity of trauma. case report: a 55 year-old lady who fell down was taken to a hospital within one hour and died two hours post-trauma. an autopsy revealed rupture a large sub capsular vascular lesion situated on the right lobe of liver with hemoperitoneum. there was a deep contusion on the a...
