Vascular Birthmarks Foundation Birthmarks, Hemangiomas, and Vascular Malformations This is a picture of Payden right after his birth. He only weighed 5 pounds 2 ounces, and was 18 inches long. What a little guy! At this point no birthmarks were evident. This is Payden at 2 months old. The hemangioma on his nose was growing at a fast rate and was invading his nasal passage This is Payden at 6 months old. He had just had his 2nd laser treatment about a week before this picture This is Payden at 7 months old. At this point he had received two laser treatments. The birthmark is lighter and receded on the bottom. Here is Payden at 9 months old. At this point he had 3 laser treatments. The mark is still there, but it looks much lighter.

There are two types of blood vessel problems that occur in children, and it is important to distinguish between the two to provide a proper diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. History and physical examination can correctly diagnose the vast majority of patients, although additional diagnostic scanning may be helpful. The most common are hemangiomas, which are composed of proliferating (multiplying) tiny blood vessels known as capillaries. Hemangiomas occur in up to 10% of infants, making them the most common benign tumor of infancy. Girls are affected three times as often as Inpatient Facilities Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Hospital Univ. of Pennsylvania Office Visit Locations 10 Penn Tower PENN Medicine at Radnor Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Making an Office Visit Appointment 215-590-2210 (CHOP) 800-234-PENN (HUP) 610 -902-2400 (Radnor) boys are. Most are not present at birth, but appear during the first few weeks of life. Superficial hemangiomas grow in the dermis layer of the skin and commonly begin as small strawberry-colored dots that progressively enlarge. Subcutaneous hemangiomas grow beneath the skin and appear blue, and many hemangiomas have both a superficial and a deep component. Many physicians still incorrectly call subcutaneous hemangiomas "cavernous hemangiomas". They may think the blue color is due to larger vessels, when it is actually their deeper location that gives the capillaries a blue hue. Hemangiomas may also grow internally, involving areas such as the parotid gland, the eye region, the airway, and the liver. The majority of hemangiomas occur in the head and neck area, but they can grow anywhere. Infants can have more than one hemangioma, and they often vary in size and grow at different rates.

Risks and side effects What is a hemangioma? A hemangioma is a non-cancerous, blood-filled growth. It is very common, especially in low birth weight premature infants. It may be present at birth or it may not appear until the first few weeks or even months after birth. While this lesion commonly occurs on the head ( illustrations 1-3 ) or neck ( illustration 4 ), it can occur in any region of the body ( illustrations 5-6 ). Some hemangiomas are very small and hardly visible, whereas others are large and disfiguring ( illustration 7 ) and can even be life threatening. What causes them is not yet understood, but it is not related to drugs or medications that may have been taken during pregnancy, nor is it related to environmental exposures that may have occurred during that time. It is a congenital condition that occurs for unknown reasons. These lesions almost always have a period of growth, which is referred to as their proliferative (growing) phase, and a period of shrinkage, which is referred to as their involutive (shrinking) phase (

[ click a disease picture to see larger view ] Hemangiomas Hemangiomas are strawberry-colored "birthmarks". They are not rare, and vary from tiny blebs to large and multiple tumor-like growths. They are not true birthmarks since they are mostly not seen at birth, but start in infancy and then begin to grow. Hemangiomas first appear from birth up to 18 months, and then slowly shrink. Port wine stains and other true birthmarks are fully formed at birth and do not grow wider. Doctors disagree over how hemangiomas should be dealt with. The answer may depend on whether you see a dermatologist, plastic surgeon or other specialist. Because many of the smaller birthmarks resolve on their own with no intervention, most doctors agree that you should leave small hemangiomas that are not growing alone, especially if they are on skin normally covered by clothing. Hemangiomas that require early aggressive treatment include those that are cosmetically deforming, growing rapidly or obstructing vision, hearing, breathing, eating or any other body function. Hemangiomas on the lower face and neck may later block internal airways. Large facial hemangiomas may cause psychosocial impairment. Also, larger hemangiomas that are left alone to regress (shrink away over years) will eventually look better if the resulting saggy, stretched out skin and fatty tissue is surgically removed. Most hemangiomas when first diagnosed are superficial only. These can be treated with a laser as soon as they are diagnosed, and early treatment is key as laser becomes less effective if you wait. The laser selects the red and shrinks the vessels so that the result is a less noticeable lesion. Repeated treatments can almost completely remove the superficial component. However, since the laser can only penetrate 1-3mm, it cannot shrink any deep component. Sometimes early treatment will prevent further growth, although deeper portions may still persist and grow. The flash-lamp pulse dye, pump dye and sclero-laser are the primary lasers used for treating hemangiomas. The risk of scarring is small. Complete removal of every trace should not be expected.

HEMANGIOMAS OF THE HEAD AND NECK Bert W. O'Malley, MD June 25, 1992 Hemangiomas are benign vascular anomalies which may occur in various areas throughout the body with 50% being located in the head and neck. Vascular anomalies are the most common head and neck tumor in infancy and childhood with hemangiomas and lymphatic malformations comprising the majority of these lesions. Classification Clinical Course Hemangiomas are usually not present at birth but are antedated by a pale, well-circumscribed flat area that may contain some central telangiectasia. The actual hemangioma will appear within the first month and will continue to increase in size for the next 3-8 months. A stable phase of relatively no growth then occurs over the next 6-12 months followed by slow involution of the tumor by ages 5-7 years. They can occur just about anywhere in the head and neck, but are more common in the parotid, lip, oral cavity, perinasal region, and larynx or subglottis. The complications of these lesions are ulceration, infection, bleeding, compression syndromes (airway compromise), thrombocytopenia, and even high output cardiac failure. Psychiatric problems are not uncommon given the sever cosmetic deformities that are associated with facial tumors.

Trauma Reconstruction Hemifacial Microsomia Summary There has been a great deal of confusion in the terms used to describe different types of vascular lesions or birthmarks. In the past, the word hemangioma has been used to describe a variety of lesions with differing origins and characteristics. A new classification system was published in 1982 by Mulliken and Glowacki, designed to simplify the nomenclature based on cellular biology with diagnostic applicability to the natural progression of these birthmarks. In this system, vascular birthmarks are divided into two major categories: hemangiomas and malformations. Hemangiomas are the vascular tumors that demonstrate rapid cell turnover or proliferation. Malformations are all other vascular tumors which have a normal endothelial cell turnover or cycle. This article discusses the diagnosis, clinical course and treatment of hemangiomas.

Infantile Hemangioma Infantile hemangioma is a benign neoplasm that commonly develops in neonates within their first few months of life. These birthmarks are more common in whites, and girls are three to five times more likely than boys to have a hemangioma. Most infantile hemangiomas undergo rapid initial proliferation, with a subsequently plateau in infants aged about 9-10 months; finally, they become involuted. The involuting phase extends from 1 year until 5 to 7 years of age. Photo#1: Typical infantile hemangioma or birthmark in the forehead. Photo#2 and 3 show another

Sean Freeman, M.D. Linda Shannon Karla Hall Lillian DuBiel HEMANGIOMA : QUESTION AND ANSWERS Q. What is a hemangioma? The word hemangioma comes from the Latin words hemangio meaning blood vessel and oma meaning tumor with active cell dividing activity. Hemangiomas differ from other vascular birthmarks in that they are biologically active, their growth is dependent from the growth of the child. They are the most common benign tumor of infants. Hemangioma growth is referred to as Hyperplasia , where as other vascular birthmarks growth is referred to as Hypertrophy Q. Who gets hemangiomas? 1 in 100 children each year in the U.S. will be born with a vascular birthmark that requires the opinion of a specialist (40,000). Most hemangiomas appear within a week or two after birth. Hemangiomas are up to 5 times more common in girls than boys. They are less likely to occur in African American babies then Caucasian babies. They occur more frequently in premature infants. Q. Where do hemangiomas occur?

Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations of the Head and Neck James Ludwick, M.D. March 21, 2002 Congenital vascular lesions have similar gross appearance on physical examination. Additionally, they can also have similar histological appearances. This has led to a certain amount of confusing nomenclature in the literature, which has been compounded by the fact that we're not really sure why these lesions occur. Additionally, there has been a misconception that most of these lesions go away. On physical examination it can be difficult to differentiate the different types of lesions and I will give a few examples to illustrate this.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The classically recognized hemangioma is a visible red skin lesion that may be superficial (in the top skin layers, called a capillary hemangioma ), deeper in the skin (cavernous hemangioma), or a mixture of both. Hemangiomas are usually present at birth, although they may appear within a few months after birth, often beginning at a site that has appeared slightly dusky or colored differently than the surrounding tissue. Hemangiomas, both deep and superficial, undergo a rapid growth phase in which their volume and size increase rapidly. This phase is followed by a rest phase, in which the hemangioma changes very little, and an involutional phase where the hemangioma begins to disappear.
