Hepatic hemangioma is the most frequent liver's tumor. The majority are small, asymptomatic and have an excellent prognosis. Those larger than 5 cm can be associated to a consumptive coagulopathy called Kasabach-Merrit syndrome. We present a patient with a giant hepatic hemangioma with multiple
The association of a mixed anaemia (by occult haemorrhage and microangiopathic haemolysis) with a thrombocytopaenia led to a search for a digestive angioma. Arteriography, followed by exploratory laparotomy with preoperative enteroscopy and frozen section histological examination, led to the
Infantile hepatic hemangioma is the third most frequent liver tumor in children and the most common below 6 months of age. Therapeutic options depend on clinical manifestations and should be tailored on an individual patient basis. We present the case of a 4 year old boy with neonatal diagnosis of
Hemangioma is the most frequent focal liver lesion. It affects mainly women and may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, mass, and early satiety, or complications such as heart failure or coagulopathy (Kasabach-Merrit syndrome). Although, surgical resection is the only curative treatment for
OBJECTIVE
A small but significant percentage of vascular tumors may develop at extracutaneous location. They are difficult to detect on the physical exam and usually they require immediate intervention. Pediatric surgeons must have acknowledge of its prognostic and therapeutic
The superficial angiomas and nevi arise from the endothelial cells, the pigment-cell-system or the epidermal cells. Hemangiomas are benign tumours of the endothelial cells appearing predominantly in female newborn infants. Depending on localisation, growth and proliferation there is a tendency for
During the past 16 years, 22 Thai infants with extensive hemangiomas which impaired bodily functions and were life-threatening, especially in Kasabach-Merrit Syndrome have been treated. The incidence of female-to-male ratio was 8:3, all of the hemangiomas appeared between birth and 3 months of age.
Cavernous hepatic hemangiomas are benign liver tumors and present as incidental findings on sonographic examinations, but little is known concerning their natural course. Therefore, we performed a clinical and imaging follow-up of 64 cases of cavernous hepatic hemangioma in 50 patients during an
Hepatic hemangiomas are congenital vascular malformations, considered the most common benign mesenchymal hepatic tumors, composed of masses of blood vessels that are atypical or irregular in arrangement and size. Hepatic hemangiomas can be divided into two major groups: capillary hemangiomas and
This paper is divided into four sections. In the first section we attempted to emphasise for the plastic surgeon some practical aspects of clinical diagnosis of moles. Taking into account the pathologic and dermatologic nomenclature we classified moles (naevi) as a) melanocytic naevi, b) vascular
METHODS
Four infants with Kasabach-Merrit syndrome syndrome have been treated at the University Hospital, Trabzon. They had large varied-site cutaneous hemangiomas. Diagnosis was performed with clinical and laboratory studies. All patients has severe thrombocytopenia and anemia. Fibrinogen and
Kasabach-Merrit syndrome (KMS) is very rarely observed in adults associated with visceral hemangiomas. Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a very rare clinical entity with an intermediate malignant potential and a mortality rate of 20-30%. We described a case of KMS associated with
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, locally aggressive vascular tumor that does not metastasize. We report two unique cases of KHE involving the right hemithorax and the upper ipsilateral extremity. Kasabach-Merrit phenomenon and osteolytic lesions in the scapula were observed in both
