    Extractions: KidsHealth Parents Hot Topics Treating Hemangiomas in Infants: Laser Versus "Wait-and-See" Up to 12% of children under a year old are born with or develop birthmarks known as hemangiomas. Hemangiomas occur when many new blood vessels develop together in a group in one place on the skin. Because most hemangiomas are painless and usually disappear within the first few weeks or months of life, many doctors recommend that parents wait and see whether the condition worsens before recommending treatment such as pulsed-dye laser (PDL) treatment. In PDL treatment, which is frequently used to treat other birthmarks, a yellow light quickly pulses energy into the hemangioma, destroying the collection of blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. Researchers from the United Kingdom studied whether the hemangiomas of infants treated with PDL went away more quickly than the hemangiomas of infants who received no treatment. Parents of 121 infants between 1 to 14 weeks old agreed to allow researchers to follow their children for a year. Half of the infants received the laser treatment; half were not treated. During the year, parents and researchers recorded whether the children experienced skin sores, infections, or other adverse reactions as the result of treatment and whether the hemangioma decreased in size and redness. The infants receiving PDL treatment were treated every 2 to 4 weeks, and all children in the study were checked at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age.

These examples respect to wide variety of lesions known as “port-wine stains” and hemangiomas. 1% to 3% of population with fare and dark type of skin is suffering from these lesions. These are the "most serious" vascular lesions as they not only affect the patient's appearance, but they also negatively impact on the social and psychological health of the patient, especially when the patient is a childe or teenager. Note that capillary hemangioma cans resolve itself. However skin on it place after resolving may be notably different from the surrounding skin. Adequate treatment cans provide better cosmetic results. Port wine stains are congenital vascular lesions consisting of ectatic capillaries and never resolves themselves. These birthmarks are present in 0.3 to 0.7 % of population and more often occur on face. For example in Moscow-city and Moscow region there are about 30 thousands of people with port-wine stain.

    Extractions: Hemangiomas: the most common benign tumor of infancy and children Approximately thirty percent of all hemangiomas are visible at birth. The remaining seventy percent become visible within one to four weeks after birth. Hemangiomas occur 5:1 females to males and occur predominantly in Caucasians. Premature and infants weighing less then 2.2 pounds, have an incidence of hemangioma of nearly 3 times more then full term infants. While these trends are interesting, there is no known cause for hemangioma. Hemangiomas occur on the head and neck between 70 –80% of the time. Approximately 20% appear throughout the rest of the body. They can occur internally and externally. Hemangiomas vary in size and shape. Some are very small and present not medical or cosmetic concerns while others are large, disfiguring and present medical concerns. The psychological implications of facial deformity cannot be ignored. In an era when “fitting in” seems to be more important then ever, Parents should consider that children become socially interactive at age 2-3 years of age. Children are teased on playgrounds all over America for wearing the “wrong” colored socks, why then do we expect them to “fit in” when they bear the mark of a hemangioma? Early intervention by an experienced physician can minimized the disfigurement and prevents the child from even being aware of the lesion.

    Extractions: HEMANGIOMAS AND VASCULAR MALFORMATIONS Hemangioma, a type of birthmark, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor made up of rapidly growing vascular cells. These congenital lesions are not necessarily apparent at birth but appear from 1-4 weeks afterwards (may initially manifest as a faint red mark). In fact, only 30% are visible at birth. Usually occurring on the head or neck, hemangiomas can appear anywhere, even on the internal organs. This type of birthmark is typified by its rapid growth and change during the first year and then its regression or slow disappearance which can last from 3-10 years. Some disappear completely while others only partially fade. The vast majority of hemangiomas occur on the head and neck. In early stages some appear as reddish or bluish spots or patches. Vascular Malformation is a congenital growth or birthmark that is composed of blood vessels. Unlike hemangiomas, vascular malformations due not These malformations are categorized into five types: Port Wine Stains: Capillary malformation that cause a change in skin color and may be associated with nerve supply deficiency to blood vessels.

    Extractions: The Center is the first interdisciplinary program in the Mid-Atlantic region for treatment of hemangiomas and vascular birthmarks in children and adults. Its staff comprises five core specialists in plastic surgery, head and neck surgery, dermatology, and radiology and additional consultants in orthopedic surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, dentistry, genetics, and psychology. It has been estimated that up to 60 percent of vascular birthmarks are misdiagnosed, and many are therefore treated inadequately or inappropriately. The multidisciplinary approach to these complex disorders combines several expert opinions into a comprehensive treatment plan that may involve one or more of the Center's specialists and regular follow-up with the entire staff. The Center's physicians offer the latest advances in diagnostic, medical, laser, and surgical technology including: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including non-invasive angiography and venography Angiography and embolization Local and systemic steroid therapy Interferon therapy Surface and intralesional laser therapy, using pulsed dye, KIT, Nd:YAG, and carbon dioxide lasers

    Extractions: Vascular birthmarks are the most common benign tumors of infancy, affecting approximately 400,000 babies each year. These are benign growths that range in appearance from flat, faintly red skin lesions to bulky deep lesions that can become large enough to interfere with vision, breathing, and swallowing. Vascular birthmarks are generally classified as either hemangiomas or vascular malformations. Hemangiomas are not usually visible at birth, but are recognized within days or weeks of delivery. They often appear in the head and neck area, but may occur anywhere on the skin or even internally. Hemangiomas initially appear as a flat, discolored area that may be mistaken for a bruise or rash. They usually undergo two periods of rapid growth, the first at 2 to 8 weeks of age and the second between 4 and 6 months of age. Hemangiomas, begin to regress, or involute, shortly after the first year of life. Some hemangiomas inviolate rapidly and leave behind skin changes that are barely noticeable. Others may take years to regress completely and still leave behind considerable deformities that require surgical correction. The Center's physicians use the latest advances in medical, laser, and surgical therapies to customize a treatment plan for each child. Vascular malformations , unlike hemangiomas, are usually present at birth and do not undergo a rapid growth phase. They do not involute, and will typically grow with the patient, often requiring surgical excision.

Stroke "Vascular malformations of the head, face, and neck" is often used as a general term and includes a number of different abnormalities that usually occur in children or young adults. They may appear as a cosmetic blemish or mass, or may come to attention by causing a disturbance of function. Vascular malformations have received different names depending on the cause: A hemangioma is a benign blood vessel tumor appearing within the first month of life. The tumor may grow rapidly, disproportional to the child's growth, during what is known as the proliferative phase, and usually reaches a maximum size when the child is between one and three years of age. The hemangioma then begins to get smaller during the involutive phase. Eventually, in most cases, all that remains is some excess fatty fibrous tissue (like wrinkled skin) that can easily be removed by a plastic surgeon. Generally, hemangiomas only require treatment early in life if they bleed or result in some obstruction of normal function, for example the inability to close the eye. Embolization of the hemangioma may be performed to stop bleeding or preserve function.

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. The important thing to remember is that accurate diagnosis and early intervention is key. Hemangiomas, like people, come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and hardly noticeable, while others are large and disfiguring.

    http://www.scripps.edu/cb/friedlander/hemangio.html
    
    Extractions: Using a human hemangioma explant model, we show that IGF2 promotes sprouting from intact hemangioma tissue. In addition, several angiogenesis-related factors including integrins alpha v beta 3 and alpha 5 beta 1 are present in proliferating hemangiomas. During the involuting phase, an increase in several interferon-induced genes was observed. These studies provide a foundation on which to build further mechanistic investigations into angiogenesis using hemangiomas as a model. We are currently designing and will shortly implement a prospective, random clinical trial to evaluate the usefulness of systemic IGF2 as a prognostic indicator in children with hemangiomas.

    Extractions: worldcf@worldnet.att.net Hemangiomas Hemangioma and vascular malformations are frequently discussed in the same setting with the thinking being that these two conditions are due to their vascular nature. In fact, these lesions are completely different with different presentations, treatments, and long term outcomes. A hemangioma is a non-malignant tumor which is made up of rapidly growing endothelial or vascular cells. They may be capillary, cavernous or mixed in origin. Usually these lesions appear at the time of birth, or shortly thereafter, as a small spot that appears pink or red. They may present on the face or elsewhere on the body. In may cases, this is the only manifestation of the process. However, there are times when these lesions will undergo rapid growth during the newborn period. This rapid growth phase will last from 6 to10 months and during this time may grow very large. Problems that may occur during this stage include bleeding, infection, mass effect and the possible obstruction of critical structures such as the mouth, nose, eyes or ears, which would require early treatment. Active therapies available today include laser treatment, injection and or oral corticosteroids, the utilization of interferon, pressure dressings, or direct surgical excision.

    Extractions: Background Hemangiomas are the most common type of congenital anomaly in childhood. Although many resolve spontaneously, intervention is required when their growth could damage vital adjacent structures. Various therapeutic approaches to childhood hemangiomas with different types of laser have been described previously. The objective of this study was to determine whether the cooling of the epidermis during irradiation of hemangiomas with a Nd:YAG laser prevents thermal damage and decreases the number of sessions required to treat these lesions. Methods Results After 6 months of follow-up, from the first session of laser treatment, total resolution was obtained in 72 (65.5%) patients. A second or third session followed in 30 out of 38 patients in which, the initial results were good, moderate, or poor. The parents of the remaining eight children refused this second session and these patients excluded from the study Complications were seen in nine (8.8%) patients. One patient had postoperative bleeding which stopped spontaneously, while atrophic scars occurred in six (5.8%) patients, and hypertrophic scars in two (1.9%) patients.

Although only 1 to 2.6 percent of newborn infants have hemangiomas present at birth, the lesions are found in up to 10 percent of patients by 1 year of age, and appear most frequently during the first one to four weeks of life. Return to top Hemangiomas may have different appearances, depending upon the depth of the increased numbers of blood vessels. More superficial hemangiomas tend to be bright red and elevated with an uneven surface. Deeper hemangiomas tend to be smooth on the surface, but bluish in coloration. Many times, both red and blue components will be present. Not infrequently, the more superficial types of hemangiomas begin as flat, pink areas, but rapidly change into the elevated, bright red lesions.

Alternative Names: Cavernous hemangioma; Strawberry nevus Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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. During the involutional phase, hemangiomas may disappear completely. Large
