How fast does pediatric hemangioma grow? Do pediatric hemangiomas go away on their own? What are the

Hemangiomas are common congenital soft tissue tumors in children, with an incidence of about 1 2, and most hemangiomas are found after birth in infants and young children. The development of hemangiomas can generally be divided into three stages:

2.Stable period: the growth rate of hemangioma is gradually slow, with the growth of young children, hemangiomas grow slowly, but the growth rate is still faster than that of children, and the proliferation and degeneration of hemangiomas are alternated, and the general time is 3 to 6 months.

3.Degenerative stage: Generally, the growth rate of hemangioma slows down after 1 year of age, some capillary hemangiomas begin to degenerate, and the fibroadipose tissue in the hemangioma increases, and a small number of children can completely degenerate at the age of 5.

In the process of degeneration, the color of the capillary hemangioma changes from purplish-red or dark red to light purplish-red, and then the color gradually changes from light to gray, and the appearance changes from full and raised to flattened to wrinkled, and the tissue is fibrotic. After the hemangioma has resolved, telangiectasia and hyperpigmentation may be left at the lesion**, usually without scarring. Cavernous hemangiomas degenerate slowly, with only a few children reversing spontaneously, and the vast majority of cavernous hemangiomas not resolving spontaneously.

Most hemangiomas such as mixed hemangiomas, cranoid hemangiomas, orange-red spots, and port-wine stains do not resolve naturally, and only some strawberry-shaped hemangiomas and capillary hemangiomas can resolve naturally within 5 years of age, and few of them completely regress over 5 years old.

Hello, pediatric hemangioma appears at birth or within three to six months after birth, often occurs on the head, face and neck, affecting the appearance of the baby, and generally grows rapidly in 2-8 months, causing parents to worry. With the patience of parents and close cooperation with the doctor, sometimes it is not necessary to be cured; However, dangerous infantile hemangiomas, such as those that grow in the eyes, throat, and limbs, need special attention.

1.Pediatric hemangiomas have different pathogenesis and growth processes depending on the type of tumor. For example, congenital hemangiomas can be divided into rapid regression type, non-regression type, and partial regression type, and infantile hemangioma can be divided into rapid growth stage, regression stage, and late stage of regression.

Other hemangiomas and vascular malformations generally do not resolve on their own, but there is a special type of vascular malformation called erythema infantilian, which generally resolves spontaneously around the age of one year. Pediatric hemangioma is a congenital benign tumor in children, which mostly originates from residual embryonic tissue, and the capillary endothelial cells in the tumor are obviously proliferative and telangiectasia. It is more common in the head and neck**, but mucous membranes and muscles can also occur, and is often found at birth or shortly after birth. It grows rapidly during infancy and then gradually stops growing and sometimes resolves on its own.

It is the most common type of soft tissue tumor. **There are generally three types of hemangiomas: bright red nevus, grass plum nevus, and cavernous hemangiomas.

Pediatric hemangiomas are characterized by rapid growth, especially in the first year of life. Although hemangiomas are benign, they can destroy surrounding tissues, and some hemangiomas grow invasively, causing cosmetic defects in children. It can also cause dysfunction.

Pediatric hemangiomas resolve on their own. It is characterized by its growth mainly in infancy and early childhood, and local erythema and even bleeding will appear about a month after the baby is born.

The enlargement of pediatric hemangioma is divided into situations, hemangioma has a proliferative period, quiescent phase and regression period, Qin Heng was born with a general suspicion to do rarely, most of them appear within 1-3 months, within 1 year old in the proliferative period, especially within 6 months of the fastest growth, and then the hemangioma is in the prohibition period, it will gradually regress after a few years, 50%-70% of patients will regress on their own at the age of 5-7 years, except for the median bright red spot nevus, which needs to be treated with coarse laser**, if there is vascular malformation, surgery or intervention can be selected**.

It is important to remember that it resolves on its own and may not resolve completely, so it is important to get up early and be active for high-risk hemangiomas**.
