They are typically cutaneous in location, large, and poorly circumscribed and can be locally destructive. Intramuscular hemangioma is infrequent, representing less than 1Â % of all hemangiomas, and the localization in the chest wall is even less frequent. Saldanha, Elroy Martis, John J S Kumar, B Vinod D'Cunha, Rithesh J Vijin, VĬhest wall hemangiomas are rare tumors that may originate within the soft tissue or from the ribs. These findings support the recommendation of five or more cutaneous infantile hemangiomas as a threshold for screening infants younger than 6 months old for hepatic hemangiomas but also demonstrate that the large majority of these infants with hepatic hemangiomas do not require treatment. Infants with five or more cutaneous infantile hemangiomas have a statistically significantly greater frequency of hepatic hemangiomas than those with fewer than 5. Two of the 24 infants with hepatic hemangiomas received treatment specifically for their hepatic hemangiomas.

Twenty-four (16%) of the 151 infants with five or more cutaneous infantile hemangiomas had hepatic hemangiomas identified on abdominal ultrasound, versus none of the infants with fewer than five (p = 0.003). Data were collected, and abdominal ultrasonography was performed on infants younger than 6 months old with five or more cutaneous infantile hemangiomas and those with one to four cutaneous infantile hemangiomas. A multicenter prospective study of children with cutaneous infantile hemangiomas was conducted at pediatric dermatology clinics at Hemangioma Investigator Groups sites in the United States, Canada, and Spain between October 2005 and December 2008. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency with which hepatic hemangiomas occur in infants with five or more cutaneous infantile hemangiomas compared to those with one to four cutaneous infantile hemangiomas and to characterize the clinical features of these hepatic hemangiomas. Screening of infants with five or more cutaneous infantile hemangiomas with abdominal ultrasound is often recommended. Multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas have been associated with hepatic hemangiomas.

The treatment of choice for periorbital hemangiomas is corticosteroids, either systemic or intralesional. Hemangiomas associated with isolated anisometropic amblyopia are local but bulky lesions that are usually but not always restricted to the upper lid, closing the eye partly and resolving late. Hemangiomas associated with deprivation amblyopia (with or without anisometropia) are lesions occupying more than one half of the lid margin, extending beyond the eyelid region, resolving late, and obstructing the visual axis. Hemangiomas least likely to interfere with vision are lower lid lesions occupying one third of the lid margin or less, not extending beyond the eyelid region, and resolving early. Any hemangioma that involves the upper or lower lid and leads to partial closure in infancy may interfere with or prevent development of normal binocular vision in a matter of days to weeks.

Other terms for a liver hemangioma are hepatic hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma. A liver hemangioma is made up of a tangle of blood vessels. Liver hemangioma Overview A liver hemangioma (he-man-jee-O-muh) is a noncancerous (benign) mass in the liver.
