Diffuse Neonatal Hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a rare, life-threatening condition associated with a few to hundreds of small, cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas. The authors reported 5 cases of DNH in which hepatic hemangioma were the most common visceral involvement. Response to prednisolone in these cases was not good, one died and four required second line therapy. Of these four cases, one case with embolisation; one with interferon and two with vinblastine. Response to vinblastine was good, but long-term follow-up of the side effects are needed.

A 43 year old man with thirty years history of recurrent hemiplegic migraine, consistently occurring on one side (left sided paresthesia and weakness of less than forty five minutes followed by right sided headache) and lately increasing to once in three days was investigated. CT head and carotid angiogram showed gyral calcification with prominent medullary and subependymal veins confirming the diagnosis of leptomeningeal angiomatosis. Management and followup is discussed.

Gastrointestinal vascular anomalies are extremely uncommon. We describe a patient with Down syndrome who presented with acute abdominal pain due to a mixed capillary and venous vascular malformation involving the proximal jejunum.

Relato de caso de angioma adquirido em tufos de localizaçäo abdominal em criança de 17 meses. Essa proliferaçäo angiomatosa é considerada rara, benigna e tem quadro histológico característico, representado por tufos angiomatosos localizados na derme. Após a revisäo da literatura, alguns dos aspectos mais relevantes, como a evoluçäo geralmente lenta, a maior incidência na infância, a riqueza do diagnóstico diferencial, clínico e histopatológico, além da terapêutica, säo discutidos.

Unilateral vascular malformation of the retina, brain and parts of the face constitute a rare syndrome named after Wyburn-Mason or as Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome. We report this case because of its rarity.

El síndrome de Gorham se caracteriza por presentar nevos angiomatosos con disolución del hueso subyacente, produciendo la desaparición de la estructura ósea. Generalmente afecta a jóvenes en forma unilateral, comprometiendo cintura pelviana y escapular, y más raramente columna cervical y parrilla costal. La histología muestra linfangiomas disecantes o bien receptores estrogénicos. La evolución es en general mala, y en pocos casos autorresolutiva. Con respecto al tratamiento, los corticoides y citostáticos han dado poco resultado. Se puede intentar cirugía, hasta la amputación. Si bien este cuadro no reviste caracteres de malignidad, debido a su carácter agresivo debe ser diagnosticado y tratado correctamente. Se presentan dos pacientes: uno poseedor de un angioma y cuyo motivo de consulta fueron los dolores osteócopos; el otro, portador de una linfangioma que estaba diagnosticado como metástasis

En definitiva se trata de un Síndrome de Gorham, con osteolisis masiva de cintura pelviana y lesiones de piel características. Desde el punto de vista histopatológico, se trata de un tumor vascular linfático sin malignidad citológica, pero arquitecturalmente de carácter disecante e infiltrante, biológicamente maligno, originado en restos embrionários. Actuarían eventualmente como factores inductores de su desarrollo el traumatismo y estímulos de carácter hormonal
