Hemangiolinfangioma mesentérico: reporte de un caso / Mesenteric hemangiolymphangioma: case report

El hemangiolinfangioma es un tipo muy raro de malformación del sistema vascular, caracterizado histológicamente por la presencia de vasos venosos y linfáticos dilatados quísticamente, cuyas células endoteliales de revestimiento son positivas para marcadores de inmunohistoquímica como CD31, CD34 y D2-40. El compromiso extenso retroperitoneal y del tracto gastrointestinal es infrecuente. Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 24 años con antecedente de dolor pélvico crónico, con exacerbación de síntomas. El diagnóstico imagenológico mostró una masa retroperitoneal multiquística. Se hizo hemicolectomía derecha y resección de la masa, encontrándose que dicha lesión estaba íntimamente adherida al mesenterio con compromiso extenso del tracto gastrointestinal, y cuyo estudio histopatológico reveló un hemangiolinfangioma, con mejoría clínica posterior a la resección quirúrgica. Aportamos a la literatura mundial, la caracterización de los hallazgos clínicos, imagenológicos e histopatológicos de este tipo de malformaciones

Hemangiolymphangioma is a very rare type of malformation of the vascular system, characterized histologically by the presence of cystically dilated venous and lymphatic vessels, whose lining endothelial cells are positive for immunohistochemical markers such as CD31, CD34 and D2-40. Extensive retroperitoneal and gastrointestinal tract involvement is uncommon. We present the case of a 24-yearold female patient with a history of chronic pelvic pain with exacerbation of symptoms. The imaging diagnosis revealed a multicystic retroperitoneal mass. A right hemicolectomy and resection of the mass was performed, finding that the lesion was intimately adherent to the mesentery with extensive involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, and whose histopathological study revealed a hemangiolymphangioma, with clinical improvement after surgical resection. We contribute to the world literature with the characterization of the clinical, imaging and histopathological findings of this type of malformations

Terapia fotodinâmica com verteporfina associada à injeção intravítrea de antifator de crescimento endotelial vascular para tratamento de hemangioma circunscrito de coroide / Photodynamic therapy with verteporfin associated with intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor for the treatment of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma

RESUMO O hemangioma de coroide é um tumor vascular benigno, de coloração vermelho-alaranjada, bem delimitado, caracterizado por uma placa elevada. É um tumor raro, com prevalência de um caso a cada 40 tumores de coroide. O diagnóstico pode ser feito por meio da clínica associada à avaliação biomicroscópica e a exames complementares para diferenciação de outros tumores. O tratamento pode ser expectante nos casos assintomáticos. Para os casos sintomáticos ou com presença de fluido sub-retiniano, existem diversas terapias. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar um caso de hemangioma circunscrito de coroide submetido a tratamento combinado de terapia fotodinâmica com verteporfina e injeção intravítrea de antiangiogênico (bevacizumabe). A decisão de tratar um hemangioma de coroide deve ser individualizada com base nos sintomas, na perda visual e em qualquer potencial de sua recuperação. O exame oftalmológico completo é necessário, mesmo em casos assintomáticos, para rastreamento precoce de doenças oculares.

ABSTRACT Choroid hemangioma is a benign, well-delimited orange-red, vascular tumor characterized by an elevated plaque. It is a rare tumor with a prevalence of one case in every 40 choroidal tumors. It can be diagnosed by the clinic associated with biomicroscopic evaluation and complementary tests to differentiate from other tumors. Treatment can be expectant in asymptomatic cases. For symptomatic cases or those with the presence of subretinal fluid, there are several therapies. The objective of this study was to report a case of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma submitted to combined treatment of photodynamic therapy with verteporfin and intravitreal injection of an antiangiogenic agent (bevacizumab). The decision to treat choroidal hemangioma must be individualized based on symptoms, visual loss, and any potential for recovery. A complete eye examination is necessary, even in asymptomatic cases, for early screening for eye diseases.

Clinicopathological features of congenital hemangioma: a study of 40 cases / 中华病理学杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinical and pathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of congenital hemangioma (CH). Methods: Forty cases of CH were diagnosed from January 2017 to December 2020 in Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The clinical and pathological and immunohistochemical data were analyzed, with review of literature. Results: There were 24 male and 16 female patients. The lesions were located in the head, neck (11 cases), limbs (14 cases), and trunk (15 cases). The clinical manifestations were congenital painless plaques or masses, the larger ones protruded on the skin surface, mostly dusky purple or bright red, with surrounding white halos. Under low magnification, the tumor was lobular and well demarcated, composed of neo-microvascular lumen of different sizes. The vascular endothelial cells were cuboidal or hobnail in appearance, forming stellar drainage vessels within the lobules. Extra-medullary hematopoiesis was seen in one case of rapidly involuting CH; there were different number of tortuous and dilated vascular lumen between the lobular structures, and some non-involuting CH cases were vascular malformations, which were devoid of lobulated structures. Immunohistochemistry showed that endothelial cells were strongly positive for CD31, CD34 and ERG, while D2-40 and GLUT-1 were negative. Conclusions: CH is a benign congenital vascular tumor with characteristic lobulated growth and abnormal blood vessels in the stroma. Pathological diagnosis often needs to be differentiated from infantile hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and vascular malformation.

Spindle cell hemangioma: a clinicopathological and molecular analysis of eight cases / 中华病理学杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological and genetic characteristics of spindle cell hemangioma (SCH). Methods: The clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of 8 SCHs diagnosed from January 2013 to September 2021 in West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China were retrospectively analyzed. Hotspot mutations for IDH1 codon 132 and IDH2 codon 172 were tested in 4 SCHs and 29 other non-SCH lesions using Sanger sequencing. Results: The 8 cases occurred in patients with a wide age range, from neonate to 46 years (mean 28 years, median 32 years). Both genders were equally affected. The course of the disease spanned from half a year to 31 years. Two SCHs were recurrent tumors. All tumors involved the distal extremities (4 of foot, 2 of ankle and 2 of hand). Six cases were presented as a single lesion and 2 cases as multiple lesions. The tumor diameters were 1-5 cm. All the 8 SCHs were typically composed of cavernous vascular space and solid components consisting of slit-like vessels, spindle cells and epithelioid endothelial cells which often exhibited cytoplasmic vacuolation. These two alternating components and the vacuolated epithelioid endothelial cells were the distinctive diagnostic clues for SCH. Vascular endothelial cells including epithelioid cells in the solid areas expressed CD31 (8/8), ERG (4/4), CD34 (5/8) and D2-40 (2/3). The spindle cells expressed SMA (8/8). Neither endothelial cells nor spindle cells expressed HHV8 (0/7), Desmin (0/5) or S-100 (0/3). Mutations were revealed in 2 SCHs, with IDH1 mutation (p.R132C) and IDH2 mutation (p.R172G), respectively. The IDH1/2 gene hotspot mutations were not found in the remaining 2 SCHs or the other 29 non-SCH lesions. Simple excisions were performed for 7 cases, and partial resection for 1 case. Follow-up information was obtained in 6 cases, with follow-up time ranging from 5 to 90 months (average, 46 months). No metastasis occurred in the 6 cases. No recurrence occurred in cases treated with simple excision. The residual lesions of the patient who received partial resection were stable. Conclusions: SCH is rare and should be differentiated from a variety of benign and malignant vascular lesions. An accurate diagnosis of SCH is clinically important and can be achieved by combining clinical information and typical pathological presentation. IDH1/2 gene hotspot mutations are specific to SCH in vascular lesions. Genetic detection is helpful in the diagnosis of challenging cases.

Parathyroid hemangioma

Background Hemangiomas are benign neoplasms of capillary proliferation that arise from a developmental anomaly where angioblastic mesenchyme fails to form canals. Most hemangiomas arise in the head and neck region, either superficially in the skin or deeper within endocrine organs such as the parotid gland. Parathyroid hemangiomas, however, are extremely rare, with only five cases previously reported in the literature. Case presentation Herein, we present a case of a 68-year-old man with a hemangioma almost completely replacing the right upper parathyroid gland, grossly measuring 1.3 × 1.3 × 1.2 cm and weighing 700 mg, associated with primary hyperparathyroidism. Conclusions Parathyroid gland enlargement due to vascular neoplasms such as hemangiomas can mimic, both clinically and radiographically, hyperplasias and/or adenomas. Surgeons need to be aware of the presence of this entity and should consider it in the differential diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism or parathyroid gland enlargement.

Hemangioma de colon Descripción de caso y revisión de la literatura / HEMANGIOMA OF THE COLON. Case report and literature review

El hemangioma de colon y recto es una entidad poco frecuente. El tipo cavernoso, es aún más raro por lo que existen pocos reportes de esta patología. Afecta mayormente al recto y al sigmoides, y el modo de presentación más común es la proctorragia indolora en el 90% de los casos. Más frecuente en adultos jóvenes. Esta entidad para su diagnóstico requiere alta sospecha y la realización de los estudios pertinentes ya que suele confundírsela con patologías más comunes. En esta revisión se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 58 años con un hemangioma cavernoso de colon transverso que se manifestó inicialmente como hematoquecia asociada a astenia. Luego de realizar estudios complementarios, se decide conducta quirúrgica. Se realizó resección de colon transverso con buena evolución postoperatoria. El resultado de anatomía patológica nos informa Hemangioma Cavernoso de colon transverso.

The hemangioma of the colon and rectum is a rare entity. The cavernous type is even more rare, so there are few reports of this pathology. It mainly affects the rectum and the sigmoid, and the most common presentation is painless proctorrhagia in 90% of cases. More frequent in young adults. This entity for its diagnosis requires high suspicion and the realization of the pertinent studies since it is usually confused with more common pathologies. In this review we present the case of a 58-year-old male patient with a cavernous hemangioma of the transverse colon that initially manifested as hematochezia associated with asthenia. After performing complementary studies, surgical behavior is decided. Transverse colon resection was performed with good postoperative evolution. The result of pathological anatomy informs us Cavernous hemangioma of transverse colon

Hemangioma de coroide e o desafio do diagnóstico diferencial / Choroidal hemangioma and the challenge of differential diagnosis

Resumo O hemangioma de coroide é um tumor benigno relativamente raro, que se apresenta de forma circunscrita ou difusa, sendo esta última normalmente associada à Síndrome de Sturge-Weber. Os tumores circunscritos manifestam-se de forma insidiosa, com o diagnóstico realizado comumente após o aparecimento de sintomas secundários. Apresentam como diagnóstico diferencial lesões graves e potencialmente letais, como melanoma de coroide e doença metastática. Neste relato descrevemos o caso de um hemangioma intraocular nodular avançado associado a descolamento hemorrágico da retina, evidenciando o desafio do diagnóstico diferencial devido às semelhanças clínicas e radiológicas compartilhadas pelos tumores.

Abstract Choroidal hemangioma is a fairly rare benign vascular tumor that can manifest in either circumscribed or diffuse type; the latter one is usually related to Sturge-Weber Syndrome. The circumscribed tumors have an insidious presentation and diagnosis is commonly made after the onset of secondary symptoms. Serious and potentially lethal lesions, such as choroidal melanoma and metastatic disease, may represent a differential diagnosis. In this report, we describe an advanced case of nodular hemangioma associated with hemorrhagic retinal detachment. This case highlights the challenge of differential diagnosis in intraocular tumors, due to their similar clinical and radiologic features.

Tratamento cirúrgico de hemangioma infantil nasal e labial na fase involuída: relato de caso / Surgical treatment of infantile nasal and labial hemangioma in the involuted phase: a case report

Hemangioma infantil (HI) é o tumor vascular mais comum e a neoplasia benigna mais frequente da infância, com maior incidência no sexo feminino e na população branca. Quase 60% dos casos ocorrem em cabeça e pescoço, sendo o tratamento ativo durante a fase proliferativa mais frequentemente indicado, em decorrência dos possíveis problemas funcionais e do potencial desfigurante. Relatamos um caso de paciente com hemangioma infantil involuído de ponta nasal e lábio superior, tratado de forma expectante durante a infância, submetida à correção da deformidade residual com técnicas de rinoplastia, associado à zetaplastia e lipoenxertia do lábio superior com bom resultado e satisfação do paciente.

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor and the most frequent benign neoplasm in childhood, with the highest incidence in females and the white population. Almost 60% of cases occur in the head and neck, and active treatment during the proliferative phase is the most frequently indicated, due to possible functional problems and disfiguring potential. We report a case of a patient with involute infantile hemangioma of the nasal tip and upper lip, treated expectantly during childhood, submitted to residual deformity correction with rhinoplasty techniques, associated with zetaplasty and upper lip grafting with good results and patient satisfaction.

Success in the use of oral propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangioma in nasal tip - Report of two cases

Abstract Infantile hemangioma is the most common pediatric vascular tumor, with the following risk factors: low birth weight, prematurity, white skin, female gender, multiparity and advanced maternal age. The use of oral and topical beta-blockers, although recent, has emerged as the first line of treatment, with superior safety and efficacy to previously used therapies, such as corticosteroids and surgeries. This report describes two cases of nasal tip infantile hemangioma, treated with oral propranolol. Both presented excellent therapeutic responses.

Síndrome de Klipper-Trenaunay-Weber con compromiso vesical y uterino tratado por vía endoscópica y endovascular / Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome with vesical and uterine involvement treated by endoscopic and endovascular routes

El síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (SKTW) es una rara malformación venosa que, en general afecta a los miembros inferiores y, más raramente, a los superiores. Se caracteriza por formaciones angiomatosas cutáneas, várices e hipertrofia del miembro afectado. El compromiso genitourinario es sumamente infrecuente. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 14 años. Ingresó por hematuria macroscópica de 48 h de evolución y metrorragia con grave compromiso hemodinámico. Se encontraba en estudio por presentar un hemangioma en el miembro inferior izquierdo que se extendía hasta la región pelviana. La uretrocistofibroscopía demostró la presencia de múltiples lesiones angiomatosas diseminadas en forma amplia en la vejiga, algunas de ellas con sangrado activo. La angioresonancia mostró una voluminosa formación hipervascularizada en contacto con la pared vesical a la cual desplazaba y fístulas arteriovenosas a nivel pelviano y en el miembro inferior izquierdo confirmando el diagnóstico etiológico. Se realizó una embolización arterial selectiva de los territorios ilíacos interno y externo e inmediatamente después una endocoagulación láser de los focos angiomatosos sangrantes. La hematuria remitió completamente en las 24 h posteriores al procedimiento. La metrorragia asociada al SKTW fue controlada mediante la utilización de análogos LHRH y progestágenos.

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a rare venous malformation that generally affects the lower limbs and, more infrequently, the upper limbs. It is characterized by cutaneous angiomatous formations, varicose veins and hypertrophy of the affected limb. The involvement of the genitourinary tract is extremely infrequent. We expose the case of a 14 years old female patient who was admitted for macroscopic hematuria of 48 hours of evolution and metrorrhagia with severe hemodynamic decompensation. The patient was under study for presenting a hemangioma in the lower left limb that extended to the pelvic region. Urethrocystofibroscopy showed the presence of multiple wide-spread angiomatous lesions in the bladder, some of them with active bleeding. The angio-resonance showed a voluminous hypervascular formation in contact with the bladder wall showing several arteriovenous fistulas at the pelvic level and in the left lower limb confirming the etiological diagnosis. A selective arterial embolization of the internal and external iliac territories was performed and then, a laser endocoagulation of the bleeding angiomatous foci was carried out. The hematuria completely stopped within 24 hours later of the procedure. The metrorrhagia associated with KTWS was controlled by the use of LHRH analogs and progestogens.

Effectiveness of fixed doses of propranolol in the treatment of hemangiomas regardless of child's weight gain: a case report / Efetividade do tratamento de hemangiomas utilizando doses fixas de propranolol em comprimido independentemente do ganho de peso da criança: relato de caso

ABSTRACT Objective: To present the outcomes of fixed doses of propranolol tablets for the treatment of hemangiomas. Case description: Two illustrative cases of hemangioma in infant patients younger than six months old are described. Treatments were started in 2010 and 2011 and were monitored until August 2017. Patients were treated with fixed doses, initially calculated based on the upper limit of 3 mg/kg/day and administrated in two daily doses rounded down to the nearest multiple of five milligrams. Dosage was not adjusted to patients' weight gain. The tablets were crushed and then diluted in a maximum amount of 3 mL of water. This procedure was necessary because propranolol was not available in oral solution in 2009, when dosages available in the Brazilian market were 10, 40 and 80 mg. Both patients presented significative improvement in the first 60 days and were in complete remission by the end of the treatment. Comments: It is possible to treat patients with Propranolol 10 mg tablets, even though the dosage is not as precise as when calculated according to patients' weight. The maintenance of a fixed dose, ignoring the patient's progressive weight gains, helps avoiding the rebound effect and decreases complications.

RESUMO Objetivo: Apresentar a experiência com a utilização de propranolol em doses fixas, em forma de comprimido, para o tratamento de hemangiomas. Descrição do caso: Dois casos ilustrativos de portadores de hemangiomas com menos de seis meses de idade são descritos. O início de tratamento ocorreu nos anos de 2010 e 2011 com seguimento até agosto de 2017. Os pacientes foram tratados com doses fixas iniciais calculadas com limite máximo de 3 mg/kg/dia, divididas em duas doses diárias, sempre com quantidades múltiplas de 5 mg. Os comprimidos de 10 mg ou a sua metade eram macerados e diluídos em 3 mL de água. As doses não foram mais alteradas. Esse uso foi decorrente da ausência da forma líquida de propranolol em 2009, quando começamos a utilizar esse tratamento, sendo então apenas disponíveis comprimidos de 10, 40 e 80 mg. Os pacientes obtiveram melhora acentuada nos primeiros 60 dias e remissão completa posteriormente. Comentários: É possível o uso de comprimidos de 10 mg, apesar de resultar numa dose não exata, como a calculada por kg/peso. A manutenção da mesma dose, mesmo com aumento progressivo de peso, pode evitar o efeito rebote e diminuir o índice de complicações.

Hemangioma infantil: actualización del tratamiento tópico y sistémico / Infantile hemangioma: an update in the topical and systemic treatments

Resumen Los hemagiomas infantiles (HI) son los tumores de tejidos blandos más frecuentes de la infancia. Se caracterizan por un crecimiento significativo durante los primeros meses de vida, seguido de una involución lenta y espontánea a lo largo de un periodo que puede durar algunos años. Usualmente, la regresión de la mayor parte del tumor termina a los 4 años de edad. Sin embargo, algunos de los HI desarrollan complicaciones, lo que resulta en alteraciones funcionales, dolor y desfiguramiento. La decisión de administrar tratamiento a un paciente con HI y elegir la mejor opción terapéutica para ese paciente (tratamiento tópico o sistémico) debe ser individualizada, dependiendo de varios factores: el tamaño de la lesión, la localización, la presencia de complicaciones como ulceración, el riesgo de cicatrización o desfiguramiento, la edad del paciente, la tasa de crecimiento o de involución al momento del diagnóstico, los riesgos y beneficios de administrar el tratamiento, la disponibilidad del medicamento, los costos y la experiencia del médico tratante.

Abstract Infantile hemagiomas (IH) are the most common soft tissue tumors in infancy. They are characterized by significant growth during the first months of life, followed by slow spontaneous involution over the ensuring years. The process of involution takes several years, but usually the regression of most of the tumors ends at 4 years of age. Unfortunately, some of the IH develop complications, resulting in functional impairment, pain and disfigurement. The decision to start treatment and the choice of the best therapeutic option (topic or systemic) should be individualized depending on several factors: the size of the lesion, the location, the presence of complications such as ulceration, the risk of scarring or disfigurement, the age of the patient, the rate of growth or regression at the time of diagnosis, the risks and benefits of the treatment, the availability of the medication, the costs, and the experience of the attending physician.

Hemangioma microvenular: reporte de caso / Microvenular hemangioma: case report

El hemangioma microvenular corresponde a una neoplasia infrecuente de origen vascular y estirpe benigno. Su etiología es desconocida; sin embargo, se han reportado casos asociados a la inmunosupresión y factores hormonales. Suele aparecer en adultos jóvenes con ligera predominancia en mujeres y en la mayoría de los casos se presenta como un nódulo asintomático en extremidades. Clínicamente, puede imitar lesiones vasculares benignas y malignas. Dentro de su diagnóstico diferencial debe considerarse el Sarcoma de Kaposi y otros tipos de hemangiomas. Debido a su inespecificidad clínica, el diagnóstico debe ser realizado histológicamente. Se han descrito múltiples alternativas terapéuticas además del seguimiento periódico. Algunos casos han sido tratados con una escisión completa sin recurrencias a 5 años de seguimiento y otros tratados con láser pulsado con excelente respuesta. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 44 años con una placa eritematoviolácea asintomática de aproximadamente 8 centímetros en su antebrazo derecho de 1 mes de evolución, con biopsia compatible y control clínico a 10 meses sin cambios significativos.

Microvenular hemangioma is a rare neoplasm of vascular origin and benign lineage. Its etiology is unknown; however, there are some cases associated with immunosuppression and hormonal factors. It usually appears in young adults with a slight predominance in women and in most cases, it presents as an asymptomatic nodule on the extremities. Clinically, it can mimic benign and malignant vascular lesions. Its differential diagnosis includes Kaposi's sarcoma and other types of hemangiomas. The diagnosis must be made histologically. Multiple therapeutic alternatives have been described. Some cases have been treated with complete excision without recurrence at 5 years, and others with pulsed laser with excellent response. We present the case of a 44 year old woman with a 1 month history of an asymptomatic erythematous plaque of approximately 8 centimeters in her right forearm with compatible biopsy. The lesion had no significant changes at 10 months followup.

Verrucous hemangioma and histopathological differential diagnosis with angiokeratoma circumscriptum neviforme

Abstract: Verrucous hemangioma is a rare vascular skin disorder with an immune profile similar to vascular neoplasms, but with behavior and evolution of vascular malformations. Its main differential diagnosis is angiokeratoma circumscriptum neviforme, with an almost indistinguishable clinical presentation because both diseases appear as erythematous patches that evolve to violaceous plaques, becoming scaly and even verrucous, most commonly affecting the lower limbs. Histopathology is crucial for the correct diagnosis: while in angiokeratoma the vascular alterations are limited to the papillary dermis, verrucous hemangioma extends deep into the dermis, reaching the subcutaneous tissue.

Corangioleiomioma placentario / Placentary chorangio-leiomyoma

Los corangiomas son los tumores placentarios no trofoblásticos más frecuentes; generalmente aparecen como hallazgos al momento del alumbramiento. La presencia de leiomiomas en las placentas también ha sido descripta esporádicamente, siendo por lo general tumores maternos uterinos incorporados a la placenta durante la gestación. En este trabajo se informa un caso muy inusual de lesión mesenquimática, localizada en la cara fetal placentaria, caracterizada por la combinación de rasgos histopatológicos e inmunohistoquímicos de corangioma y leiomioma. Se encontró un solo caso informado en la bibliografía científica internacional con estas características, denominado "corangioleiomioma". En nuestro conocimiento, el caso aquí expuesto es el primero comunicado en nuestro país.

Chorangiomas are the most common non-trophoblastic tumors, generally appearing as incidental findings at the moment of delivery. The presence of leiomyomas inside placental parenchyma has been also described sporadically. In these cases, leiomyomas were primary maternal uterine neoplasms incorporated into the placenta during pregnancy. This case report presents a very unusual case of mesenchymal lesion, located in the fetal surface of the placenta, characterized by combined histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of chorangioma and leiomyoma. A single case reported with these characteristics was found in the international scientific literature, named as "chorangioleiomyoma". To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in our country.

Acquired elastotic hemangioma, a little-known entity: report of a case with 15 years of evolution

Abstract: Acquired elastotic hemangioma is a hemangioma variant first described in 2002. It is characterized by being a benign, solitary, slow-growing lesion, that appears in adulthood and is associated with solar exposure. It is a rare hemangioma variant with few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of acquired elastotic hemangioma on the back of the right hand and forearm in a male adult. Acquired elastotic hemangioma is a benign vascular proliferation associated with solar exposure, usually assymptomatic. It affects adults between 59 and 65 years of age. Histopatologically it is characterized by proliferation of small vessels in the upper dermis that are disposed parallel to the epidermis, and significant solar elastosis. The treatment is surgical, with no relapses reported.

Rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma

Abstract: Rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma is a rare vascular tumor that generally has a good prognosis. The authors describe a case of a newborn girl with a left cervical vascular lesion. Image exams were performed, and the lesion slowly decreased, leaving redundant skin. Considering all of the findings, a final diagnosis of a rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas was suspected.
