Cavernous hemangioma

Introduction to cavernous hemangioma Occurs in the head, neck, but also in other parts of the mouth or pharynx mucosa, for single or multiple large irregular irregular or lobulated lesions, superficial damage color bright red or deep red, surface Irregular, deep in sexual damage, purple color, unclear boundaries, smooth surface, soft and elastic, compressible, like a sponge, which can be accompanied by strawberry hemangioma, which is present at birth or after birth A few weeks, gradually increase within a year, can gradually ease, but it is difficult to subside, digestive tract hemangioma, easy to cause chronic bleeding and anemia, in addition to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the lesion can also occur under the mucosa, muscles and even skeleton. Spongiform hemangioma, if ruptured by trauma or secondary infection, poses a risk of serious blood loss. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% - 0.007% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: spinal cord compression anemia

Cause of cavernous hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a vascular malformation of low blood flow that occurs at birth, also known as venous malformation. Vascular damage generally develops slowly, often in childhood or adolescence, and is not significantly increased in adulthood. Most venous malformations are spongy, hence the name.

Cavernous hemangioma prevention

There is no effective preventive measure for this disease. Early detection and early diagnosis are the key to the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Cavernous hemangioma complications Complications spinal cord anemia

1, cavernous hemangioma will not fade by itself, only unrestricted growth, affecting the appearance of the head and face, causing deformity.

2, cavernous hemangioma will cause space-occupying lesions, compression of nerves, tendons, other tissues and organs, etc., causing pain, deformity and other complications.

3, cavernous hemangioma in the limbs, causing swelling, deformity, and even invasion of the affected limb, causing dysfunction and other acquired disabilities.

4, cavernous hemangioma can cause muscle atrophy in the limbs, so that the affected limb is smaller than the normal limb.

Cavernous hemangioma symptoms Common symptoms Chronic anemia

1. Blue-violet, soft mass.

2, soft when pressed, and can be compressed, and then resume after letting go.

3, the position movement test is positive, that is, when the tumor is lower than the heart plane, the blood flow in the tumor is blocked, the tumor is enlarged, the blood flow is smoother when the tumor is higher than the heart plane, and the tumor shrinks.

4, in the soft tumor sometimes licking veins.

5, puncture and extraction can coagulate whole blood.

Examination of cavernous hemangioma

pathology:

The lower part of the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue are seen in large and irregular cavities. The cavity is filled with red blood cells and fibrous substances. The wall of the cavity is a thin layer of thin endothelial cells. The large vascular cavity is thickened due to the proliferation of the outer membrane cells. , smooth muscle can still be seen.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma

According to the history of the disease and clinical features, it is usually not difficult to diagnose:

1. Appears at birth and the condition grows with age.

2, bulging or slightly bulging the surface of the skin, blue or purple red; the pressure can be reduced, after pressing to restore the original shape.

3, no symptoms, good for the face, neck and head.

4, histopathology can be seen in large thin-walled blood vessels that are in good agreement with each other, small veins of different sizes, sometimes visible thrombosis, mechanization and calcification. There was no abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.
