Presentation
They are a rare entity accounting for less than 3% of hemangiomas present in the neonatal period. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
They are often mistaken for an infantile hemangioma but are present at birth. They do not tend to grow after birth. [howlingpixel.com]
AB - Rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH) is an uncommon, often high-flow vascular tumor that presents at birth and involutes within the first year of life. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Congenital means innate; a congenital Hemangioma is present at birth. Characteristic is a lighter edge or a 'halo' to the drift. [cmtc.nl]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
When they develop in the skin, cavernous hemangiomas are often referred to as "deep," and sometimes first appear as a bluish swelling underneath the skin. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
Results: : A one-week old infant was evaluated for an area of bluish discoloration and swelling below the medial canthal region of her right eye present since birth. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
The word 'tumour' refers to an abnormal growth of cells which looks like a swelling. [sickkids.ca]
They appear as a bluish soft to firm swelling. Both types of haemangiomas may occur together in mixed angiomatous naevi. A strawberry naevus overlies a bluish swelling. Segmental haemangiomas are more serious than localised haemangiomas. [dermnetnz.org]
The effect of the treatment can be seen soon after drug initiation (less vascular appearing, decrease in size or swelling). [hemangioma.com]
- Lymphedema
It also manages various types of primary pediatric and adult lymphedemas, including Nonne-Milroy disease (Orphanet: 79452, ICD-10: Q82.0), etc. In this ERN, there is a specific WG for Pediatric and Primary Lymphedemas. [vascern.eu]

- Fever
Case Report Female infant, aged 1 month, admitted for dyspnea and fever. Physical examination revealed the presence of a small tuberous angioma skin of the chest wall. [archivesofmedicine.com]
- Sepsis
The patient had Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon and died at age 6 months from intracranial hemorrhage secondary to profound thrombocytopenia complicated by sepsis. [jamanetwork.com]
Respiratoric
- Respiratory Distress
We present a unique case of giant congenital pulmonary hemangioma causing respiratory distress in a newborn. Case Report Female infant, aged 1 month, admitted for dyspnea and fever. [archivesofmedicine.com]
Respiratory distress was thought to be the result of wet lung disease and resolved within 2 days following CPAP. No signs of cardiac decompensation were observed. [degruyter.com]
During transfer to our institution, the infant developed respiratory distress, tachypnea, and hypoxemia necessitating supplemental oxygen. FIGURE 1 On day of life 1, a large right facial vascular anomaly is seen obscuring the right eye. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Diarrhea
Previously published series reported variable incidence of adverse events, ranging from none recorded20 to two thirds of the patients (a Chinese series that reported diarrhea possibly caused by the oral formulation).19 Adequate phase I studies on propranolol [scielo.br]
Cardiovascular
- Thrombosis
Congenital nonprogressive hemangiomas may represent primary capillary proliferations with secondary thrombosis or, alternatively, secondary endothelial hyperplasia in response to thrombosis or altered hemodynamics (perhaps within malformed or damaged [jamanetwork.com]
The distinguishing pathologic features of these tumors are lobules of capillaries set within densely fibrotic stroma containing hemosiderin deposits, focal lobular thrombosis, and sclerosis. 103 They are GLUT-1 negative. [dermaamin.com]
The vascular tumors and thrombosis were visible during the operation (Fig. 2 ). Gross examination demonstrated segments of the skeletal muscle, containing ill-defined vascular lesions, and partial thrombosis. [wjso.biomedcentral.com]
Congenital nonprogressive hemangiomas - Features: Lobules of capillaries set within densely fibrotic stroma containing hemosiderin deposits; focal lobular thrombosis and sclerosis; frequent association with multiple thin-walled vessels; absence of "intermingling [histopathology-india.net]
Ancillary features commonly found were hemosiderin, thrombosis, cyst formation, focal calcification, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. [link.springer.com]

MEDICAL TREAMENT: PROPANOLOL Initially used to treat cardiac problems (pulmonary hypertension) an amazing side effect was noted, the shrinking of hemangiomas. Propanolol was developed 50 years ago as a non-selective B-blocker. [hemangioma.com]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Jaundice
In rare cases, a brain tumor (eg, an astrocytoma) may be evident in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. [35] Other suspicious findings include the following: Jaundice, which may be a sign of liver hemangiomas Bloody stools, which may be a sign of gastrointestinal [emedicine.medscape.com]
Skin
- Ulcer
Systemic Implications and Complications Ulceration This is the most common complication (10%). The incidence is proportional to the size of the lesion. Bleeding This is a mostly secondary complication to ulceration. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Medical literature reports that 5-10% of hemangioma ulcerate. Often the ulceration occurs in on the lip or genitalia. However; an ulceration may occur in any hemangioma. [novanews.org]
Ulcerations or bleeding may arise on hemangiomas, especially when they are present on the lips, cheeks and genital areas. Ulcerated hemangiomas will leave permanent scars on the skin. [chop.edu]
- Flushing
Most often they are flush with the skin or slightly elevated, but sometimes they grow from a stalk. Superficial lesions may bleed or turn into sores, particularly if bumped or injured. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]
- Blister
Therefore, most current textbooks present a classification based on location (for example, conditions of the mucous membrane), morphology (chronic blistering conditions), etiology (skin conditions resulting from physical factors), and so on. [howlingpixel.com]
Workup
A pediatric otolaryngology (ENT) consult is paramount for proper workup and surveillance of tracheal/glottal hemangioma. [hemangioma.com]
Hypertrophy
- Ventricular Hypertrophy
Thus, the diagnosis should be considered in young children with right heart failure, right ventricular hypertrophy, or pulmonary hypertension. Open lung biopsy was required to confirm the diagnosis. There is no established therapy in infancy. [archivesofmedicine.com]
Treatment
More on Diagnosis of Non-involuting congenital hemangioma » Treatments: Non-involuting congenital hemangioma Treatment : Because non-involuting congenital hemangioma (NICH) is quite rare, there are no established guidelines for the treatment of this condition [familydiagnosis.com]
These vascular abnormalities are benign and in principle need no treatment. When in doubt to the diagnosis a biopsy can be done (skin sample for microscopic examination). [cmtc.nl]
Treatment is excision or electrocautery. [dermaamin.com]
Other ssuggested treatments include Bevacizumab (antibody against VEGF) and Sirolimus (MTOR inhibitor). Optimal Therapeutic Approach for this Disease Surgical excision is the optimal treatment. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Prognosis
PROGNOSIS AND CLINICAL COURSE TA may persist unchanged or regress completely within a few years. TREATMENT No single treatment is effective. Interferon-α and PDL have anecdotally been reported to be effective [dermaamin.com]
Knowledge of the clinical presentation, evolution and prognosis of this rare hemangioma is crucial for the diagnosis and appropriate follow-up, avoiding unnecessary clinical interventions, and providing reassurance of caregivers. [revistas.rcaap.pt]
Ultrasonographers and obstetricians should be aware of these vascular tumors, their differential diagnosis and prognosis. [degruyter.com]
Etiology
Tufted Angioma ETIOLOGY TA is a benign vascular tumor that has also been called angioblastoma of Nakagawa. Its etiology and pathogenesis are uncertain. Unlike IH, there are no known gender or gestational age correlates. [dermaamin.com]
Etiology The etiology is unknown. Pathophysiology Aberrant angiogenesis is driven by local and systemic pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF and angiopoeitin-2. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. [howlingpixel.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The pathophysiology includes aberrant angiogenesis driven by local and systemic pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF and angiopoeitin-2. The mechanisms behind resistance to involution are unknown. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Pathophysiology Aberrant angiogenesis is driven by local and systemic pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF and angiopoeitin-2. The mechanism behind spontaneous involution is unclear, but is probably due to variable host factors. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Due to the scarcity of cases, the pathophysiology and treatment is poorly understood, with appropriate monitoring for sequelae recommended. 9 Case Report The patient was born at 39 weeks’ gestation following an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery. [mdedge.com]
