Eye Capillary Hemangioma

Capillary hemangioma is the most common benign tumor in infants and young children, also known as infantile hemangioma. It is difficult to distinguish histologically from benign hemangioendothelioma. Most tumors occur subcutaneously on the inner side of the upper eyelid, with a slight local bulge, which is slightly blue-blue, and those who invade the dermis appear bright red. When the crying occurs, the tumor increases, indicating that there is more connection with systemic circulation. In severe cases, the entire upper eyelid is affected, causing diffuse swelling of the upper eyelid, which can cover the pupil, affect visual development, and cause amblyopia and strabismus. Eyelid capillary hemangioma can invade the orbit, or it can be primary, but it is rare. Intraorbital capillary hemangiomas are prone to cause eyeballs to protrude and displace, and develop rapidly. Because some patients' lesions invade the dermis, local red bumps, and many shallow depressions on the surface, such as strawberry-like, it is also known as strawberry mole.
