Hemangioma in children can do spontaneous regression?

Constituted by a large number of hyperplastic vascular vascular tumors are congenital soft tissue tumors in children, the incidence is approximately 1%~2%, most hemangiomas in infants was found after birth. Development of Hemangioma in General can be divided into three phases:

1. proliferation: the continued proliferation of Hemangioma extended after birth, promptly to the surrounding skin and deep tissue violations, Hemangioma proliferation of 6-10 months.

2. the stabilization period: Hemangioma growth slow gradually, as the children\'s growth, Hemangioma of slow growth, but growth is still faster than growth in children, and degenerate alternating with proliferation of Hemangioma, General time is 3-6 months.

3. period of degradation: typically 1 Hemangioma growth later slows down, part of the capillary Hemangioma start, fibers increase in adipose tissue in vascular tumor, small number of children at the age of 5 can be completely degraded. In the process of degradation, capillary Hemangioma color change from purple or deep red to purple red, later fall gradually lightens the color turns gray, overall by the energetic uplift into flat to collapse, fibrosis of the skin. Dissipated vascular tumor lesions after leaving Telangiectasia and pigmentation of the skin, generally without leaving scars. Cavernous Hemangioma of degradation is very slow, there are very few children with spontaneous regression, and most of the cavernous Hemangioma not extinction. Most blends-Hemangioma, racemosum Hemangioma, orange-red spots, wine color spots, and other vascular tumor not extinction, only a portion of Strawberry hemangiomas and capillary Hemangioma in 5 years to extinction, more than 5-years-old rarely has dissipated.

Hemangioma of infants should be detailed records vascular tumor types, parts, surface color, size and the form occur, lesions involving the scope, whether high out of the skin, recorded by measuring size with floor plans, General review once a month. Such as Hemangioma growth too fast (sometimes capillary Hemangioma can grow every day 1~2mm) should be reviewed once a week, and with the last check the results for comparison if narrow Angioma lesion, color lighten, uplift height changes of the skin smooth, shows vascular tumor lesion in stable or receding period, can continue to observe waiting to be dissipated.

If vascular tumor lesions extend the surface color is dark purple or deep red, skin surface uplift increased indicating lesions in the proliferation of Hemangioma, active treatment measures should be taken. Vascular tumor lesion in the head and face, or hands and feet as sites and growing fast, pay special attention, should be treated in a timely manner, so as not to grow too big to lose the best treatment, causing facial deformity or physically disabled.
