Hemangiomas are proliferative lesions characterized by increased endothelial cell turnover, may be present anywhere in the body, and rarely involve the skeleton. It is extremely uncommon to come across a case of Hemangioma of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and even more rare to find a case of bilateral Hemangioma of TMJ. As a result of the low incidence of such anomalies in the region of the...

Infantile hemangioma is a common tumor of infancy. Although most hemangiomas spontaneously regress, treatment is indicated based on complications, risk to organ development and function, and disfigurement. The serendipitous discovery of propranolol, a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor blocker, as an effective means to regress hemangiomas has made this a first-line therapy for hemangioma patie...

Background Acquired elastotic hemangioma is a benign vascular proliferation that typically presents as an asymptomatic red plaque on a sun-exposed site of an adult. Material and Methods The PubMed database was used to search the following words: acquired, angioma, arm, basal, carcinoma, cell, elastosis, elastotic, exposed, forearm, hemangioma, solar, sun, and vascular. The relevant papers and r...

introduction: pulsed dye laser (pdl) is an important treatment for superficial infantile hemangioma, but few studies report on its cellular mechanism. the aim of this study was to evaluate alterations of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) level in infantile hemangioma (ih) patients after laser treatment and effects of pdl irradiation on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (huvec...

BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial cell excessive proliferation is the main biological behavior of hemangioma. Rapamycin regulates the growth of endothelial cells by inhibiting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Thus hemangioma accompanied by excessive mTOR activation should be sensitive to rapamycin. We aimed to illustrate the effect of low-concentration rapamycin on hemangioma and provide a s...

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common childhood vascular tumor. Although benign, some hemangiomas cause deformation and destruction of features or endanger life. The current treatments, corticosteroid or propranolol, are administered for several months and can have adverse effects on the infant. We designed a high-throughput screen to identify the Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs tha...

INTRODUCTION The development of various benign oral mucosal lesions associated with dental implants, such as pyogenic granuloma or peripheral giant cell granuloma, has been rarely reported. However, the occurrence of vascular diseases, such as hemangioma, related to dental implants has not been explored in the literature. In this study, we report a case of co-development of pyogenic granuloma a...

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...
