Equal gender distribution
Birth prevalence is 0.3%
20 times less common
than strawberry
haemangiomata;
“port-wine stains,” are
present at birth as
permanent, flat, pink-red
cutaneous lesions
Defective maturation of cutaneous sympathetic innervation
during embryogenesis, leading to localised intradermal
capillary vasodilatation.
At birth, they appear as flat, smooth, intensely purplestained
areas, most frequently on the head and neck, often within
the maxillary and mandibular dermatomes of the
trigeminal
nerve; with age their surfaces become more keratotic and
nodular.
TreatmentTreatment
• Allowed for spontaneous regression.
• Otherwise by laser therapy – pulsed dye laser (diode
laser).
• CO2 snow therapy.
• Sclerosant therapy.
• Steroid - oral / intralesional / systemic.
• Therapeutic embolisation

Cavernous HaemangiomaCavernous Haemangioma
• It is present at birth and consists of a multiple venous
channels.
• Its size increases gradually and may cause problems.
• Sites: Head, neck, face, limbs, tongue, liver and other
internal organs.
• Large or multiple cavernous haemangiomas can cause
congestive heart failure (hyperdynamic) due to shunting
of large quantity of blood.
Clinical FeaturesClinical Features
• It is smooth, soft, well-localised, warm, fluctuant,
compressible, nonpulsatile swelling with bluish
surface occurring in skin and subcutaneous tissue
(often in mucosa like oral cavity) without any
transillumination.
• Compressibility and bluish surface is diagnostic.
TreatmentTreatment
•• Sclerosant therapySclerosant therapy
• Ligation of feeding artery and often at later stage
excision is done once haemangioma shrinks.
• Therapeutic embolisation.
• If small and located in accessible area, excision is the
initial therapy.
• Laser ablation – diode pulsed laser is becoming
popular because of good control of bleeding.
