Maximum efficient treatment of haemangiomas in infants
H
aemangiomas are benign vascular tumours composed of an increased number of unique endothelial cells that line blood
vessels.Wedistinguish between single capillary haemangiomas and haemangiomatosis, defined asmultiple haemangiomas
that may occur anywhere on the skin or mucous membranes. Haemangioma may occur in any location supplied with blood
vessels (skin, internal organs, and bones). Capillary haemangiomas appear on skin or mucous membranes supplied through
capillaries with a very small internal diameter. Haemangiomas affecting internal organs (liver, kidneys, brain, spleen or the
lungs) are usually detected accidentally. The size of haemangioma, especially on the skin, ranges from millimetres to several
centimetres, forming a bright red or bluish-red lesion. Haemangiomas are the most common benign tumours in infants,
appearing in 3% of new-borns, usually affecting the face – the nose, the lips, the eyelids or the genitalia (labia minor, clitoris,
scrotum), and they should be considered urgent conditions requiring an adequate treatment. An extraordinarily elegant
and safe treatment with excellent results, practically without undesired effects is the oral administration of the beta-blocker
propranolol. After the initial examination, the administration requires the cooperation of a dermatologist, a paediatrician, and
a cardiologist. We are going to present the cases of our patients before and after six months of therapy with propranolol with
an excellent effect on various localities on the skin.
