    Hemangioma Hepático Dr. Miki Mochizuki Dr. Stéfano G. Jorge INTRODUÇO Hemangiomas são pequenos tumores benignos formados por vasos sanguíneos enovelados. Surgem durante a formação do embrião, antes do nascimento, podendo ocorrer em diversos órgãos, entre eles a pele e o fígado. Manchas de nascimento vermelhas normalmente são causadas por hemangiomas na pele. Em geral, o hemangioma permanece inalterado após o nascimento, podendo crescer mas raramente causa algum sintoma, principalmente quando está localizado no fígado. Lá, é encontrado geralmente ao acaso, por algum exame ( ultrassonografia, tomografia ou ressonância ) realizado por outro motivo. A comprovação diagnóstica se faz por exames de imagem e a conduta mais adequada é esperar. Hemangiomas gigantes que comprimam outros órgãos ou que cresçam muito podem necessitar de cirurgia, mas isso é raro. O que se aconselha é fazer exames anuais para avaliar o tamanho do tumor. Epidemiologia Acomete 0,4 a 7% da população; É mais freqüente em mulheres entre 30-40 anos e neonatos; Hemangiomas gigantes * Takagi e Sinanan Patologia Etiologia: incerta. Hamartomas congênitos (?)

    Spider Veins
  • What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info
  • What Is It? Spider veins occur when tiny veins congregate below the surface of the skin, causing red, blue or purple discolorations. Spider veins get their name from the shape of the discolorations, which can look a bit like a spider with several outreaching "legs." Spider veins can be quite small or can be more noticeable. They may make you feel self-conscious, but they are harmless, and any treatment done is usually to improve appearance.

Hemangiomas occur 5 times more often in females than in males and occur predominantly in Caucasians. Low birthweight infants (less than 2.2 pounds) have a twenty six percent chance of developing a hemangioma. The cause of hemangiomas has not been determined, and neither parent should bear guilt over the occurrence or appearance of one of these birthmarks.

    Choroidal Hemangioma Description: Hemangiomas can grow within the blood vessel layer beneath the retina called the choroid. If they are located in the macula (center of vision) or they leak fluid which causes a retinal detachment or cystic changes in the retina. These changes can effect your vision. Many choroidal hemangiomas never grow or leak fluid and may be observed without treatment. Choroidal hemangiomas are not cancers and never metastasize. Appearance: Most choroidal hemangiomas are reddish to orange. Some choroidal hemangiomas have areas of increased pigmentation which (in those cases) can make them difficult to differentiate from choroidal melanomas. Fluorescein Angiography: Eye-care specialists perform studies of the blood vessels in the eye with a vegetable dye called fluorescein. The dye is injected into the arm and travels to the blood vessels inside eye. If a tumor is in the eye, we can see specific characteristics of its circulation which can help us differentiate between it and other types of tumors. Choroidal hemangiomas have a unique pattern of circulation where the large blood vessels produce a "

    Also known as a strawberry hemangioma, a hemangioma is a proliferation of blood vessels that typically occurs shortly after birth. Hemangiomas usually starts off flat and then becomes raised. They can remain small or can become very large. Hemangiomas can be entirely superficial or remain deep to the skin. A hemangioma generally regresses once it has reached its peak size. This may take several years, and for larger and deeper hemangiomas, there may some residual scarring.
    Vascular lasers are helpful in treating the red superficial component of the hemangioma and are also used if a hemangioma is bleeding. When a hemangioma is deep, other treatment modalities such as corticosteroids may be required.
    Given the natural regression of hemangiomas, treatment is usually reserved for hemangiomas in vital areas (i.e., near eyes) or if they are bleeding.

    Hemangiomas are abnormally dense collections of dilated blood vessels (capillaries) that may occur in the skin. They are recognized as a visible red skin lesion that may be superficial, deeper in the skin, 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.

    MANAGEMENT OF LIFE THREATENING hemangiomas. Hemangioma hemangiomatosis).The cutaneous hemangiomas are rarely fully grown at birth.
    http://www.geocities.com/john_a_battles/manage.htm
    MANAGEMENT OF LIFE THREATENING HEMANGIOMAS Hemangioma of infancy is an angiomatous disorder characterized by the proliferation of capillary endothelium, with multilamination of the basement membrane and the accumulation of mast cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages. In this angiogenic disease, the abnormal growth of capillaries results in tissue damage, sometimes with fatal consequences. Hemangioma is the most common tumor of infancy, occurring in 10-12% of whites and in up to 22% of preterm babies weighing less than 1000g. The female to male preponderance is 3:1. Cutaneous hemangiomas are the most common, they usually appear as a single tumor, although multiple cutaneous lesions also occur, often with involvement of other organs (generalized hemangiomatosis). The cutaneous hemangiomas are rarely fully grown at birth. They usually appear during the first few weeks of life as an erythematous macule, a blanched spot, or localized telangiectasia. However they have rapid postnatal growth for 8 to 18 months (proliferative phase), followed by very slow but inevitable regression for the next 5 to 8 years (involutive phase). There is complete resolution of hemangiomas in over 50% by the age of 7 years, with continued improvement in the remaining children until the age of 10-12 years. The rate of regression is not related to the sex or age of the infant, the duration of the proliferative phase, or the site, size, or appearance of the hemangiomas. Most hemangiomas are small, harmless birthmarks that involute to leave either normal or slightly blemished skin. However, even small hemangiomas can obstruct the airway or impair vision. A few may behave aggressively and destroy a vital structure and they may cause pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure by diverting a considerable volume of blood and producing high output failure, disfigurement or loss of a function as a result of direct invasion or necessary surgical intervention. The increased capillary endothelial surface that characterizes a giant hemangioma can also trap platelets and may cause a thrombocytopenic coagulopathy (Kasabach-Merritt syndrome), microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and bleeding may also occur.
