Description

A blood vessel cell-derived hemangioma or haemangioma is a typically benign vascular tumor. An infantile hemangioma, also known as a "strawberry mark," is the most common type that occurs in infants. It typically appears on the skin at birth or within the first few weeks of life. A hemangioma can appear anywhere on the body, but the face, scalp, chest, or back are the most common locations. They typically expand for up to a year before gradually shrinking as the child grows. If a hemangioma prevents vision or breathing or is likely to cause permanent disfigurement, treatment may be required. Internal hemangiomas can occasionally cause or contribute to other medical issues. Beta blockers are the first line of treatment, and they work well most of the time. There are many different kinds of benign (noncancerous) vascular tumors. The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) is constantly updating the correct terminology for these hemangioma types. Congenital and infantile hemangiomas are the most prevalent types.

Congenital Hemangiomas

The most prevalent benign tumor found in children is infantile hemangioma. Strawberry marks, also known as blood vessels, are more prevalent in girls than in boys. Within a few days or weeks of birth, they typically begin to appear on an infant's skin. They typically expand rapidly for up to a year. Some can ulcerate and form painful scabs, and depending on their location and size, they may also be disfiguring. The majority then shrink or involute without further issue. Inherent hemangiomas are available on the skin upon entering the world, not at all like juvenile hemangiomas, which show up later. They are fully formed at birth, unlike infantile hemangiomas, which grow after a child is born. Compared to infantile hemangiomas, their incidence is lower. The color of congenital hemangiomas can range from pink to blue.

The classification of congenital hemangiomas is based on whether they completely disappear, partially disappear, or do not shrink at all. Rapidly Involuting Congenital Hemangiomas (RICH) are those that shrink and disappear quickly. Noninvoluting Congenital Hemangiomas (NICH) are those that do not shrink and persist. The term "Partially Involuting Congenital Hemangiomas" (PICH) refers to those that only partially shrink. Once in a long while, they might be connected with problems of the focal sensory system or spine. They can also occur in the body's internal organs, like the liver, lungs, or brain. The shade of the hemangioma relies on how profound it is in the skin: Hemangiomas that are superficial to the skin tend to be bright red; hemangiomas that are deep (those that are further away from the surface of the skin) frequently appear blue or purple; the colors of mixed hemangiomas may be both superficial and deep. An enormous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a harmless cancer of the liver made out of hepatic endothelial cells. The most prevalent liver tumor, it is typically unnoticeable and only discovered on radiological imaging. There are several subtypes of liver hemangiomas, including the giant hepatic hemangioma, which can cause significant complications. Liver hemangiomas are thought to be congenital in origin. Some drugs have been found to cause drug-induced hemangiomas in nonclinical toxicology animal models used to study carcinogenesis.It is inferred from nonclinical animal studies that some drugs can also produce hemangiomas in humans and careful dosing during therapeutic drug design can ensure their safe use. For instance, hemangiomas of the mesenteric lymph node were significantly increased at 700 mg/kg/day of Empagliflozin in male rats, or approximately 42 times the exposure from a 25 mg clinical dose.

Since 2008, oral beta blockers like propranolol and atenolol have been the first-line treatment for hemangiomas. Beta blockers have been shown to be safe and effective in treating complication-prone hemangiomas. They work by narrowing the hemangioma's blood vessels, stopping them from growing, and accelerating the natural death of the hemangioma cells. These are correlated with the fading and shrinking of hemangiomas. Propanolol is effective in approximately 97% of hemangiomas, with patients who are less than two months old showing the greatest improvement.

Strawberry Hemangioma

A benign vascular tumor or anomaly that affects infants is known as an Infantile Hemangioma (IH), which is sometimes referred to as a strawberry mark due to its appearance. Other names for IH include strawberry hemangioma, capillary hemangioma, and IH. Strawberry nevus and strawberry birthmark, also known as a cavernous hemangioma in the past. They appear as a raised red or blue lesion on the skin. Typically, they appear during the first four weeks of life. Typically, they grow until about five months of age. Often, skin changes remain after they shrink. Complications may include pain, bleeding, ulcer formation, disfigurement, or heart failure. It is the most common tumor of the orbit and periorbital areas in children. It can occur outside of the skin in places like the liver and gastrointestinal tract, as well as in the oral cavity, lips, subcutaneous tissues, and mucous membranes.

A few cases are associated with other abnormalities, such as PHACE syndrome. Diagnosis is generally based on the symptoms and appearance. Occasionally, medical imaging can assist in the diagnosis. In most cases, no treatment is required other than close observation. It may grow rapidly, before stopping and slowly fading. The underlying reason for their occurrence is not clear. About 10% of cases appear to run in families. Some are gone by the age of 2, around 60% by 5 years, and 90-95% by 9 years. While this skin coloration might be disturbing by all accounts, doctors by and large advice that it be left to vanish all alone, except if it is impeding vision or obstructing the nostrils. Certain cases, notwithstanding, may bring about issues and the utilization of prescription, for example, propranolol or steroids are recommended. Incidentally medical procedure or laser therapy might be used. It is quite possibly of the most well-known harmless growth in children, happening in around 5-10% of all births. They are more common in women, white people, preemies, and babies with low birth weight. They can happen anywhere on the body, but 83% of them happen in the head or neck area.
