How to treat cavernous hemangioma

summary

Cavernous hemangioma mainly occurs in head, face and neck, followed by limbs and trunk. In addition to common in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin, occasionally in the submucosa, can also occur in the muscle, bone and internal organs. Most of them have been found at birth, or the onset is insidious and it is difficult to trace the onset date accurately. Cavernous hemangioma can also occur in muscle tissue, which is called intermuscular hemangioma. Quadriceps femoris is most often involved, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed. Sometimes, bone is involved, and the surface is rough and uneven, such as insect bite, and bone marrow cavity is involved. In X-ray, multiple cavity like signs after trabecular destruction can be seen. Cavernous hemangioma is different from capillary hemangioma. There is no or very little capillary hemangioma tissue in its epidermis. It mostly grows in subcutaneous tissue and often invades deep muscles. Now let's share with you.

How to treat cavernous hemangioma

First, cavernous hemangioma is characterized by obvious features, unclear boundary, soft touch and compressibility. The color of cavernous hemangioma depends on the location and depth of the tumor. For example, most of the visceral cavernous hemangiomas have no change in the surface skin or are slightly cyan purple; for superficial cavernous hemangiomas, the skin is slightly blue or light purple, and the varicose and swirling blood vessels are faintly visible.

Second, the tumor is compressible, and its volume can change with the change of body position. Palpation examination shows the feeling of worm like convolution and aggregation, or the presence of granular phlebolith can be detected. X-ray photographs can also show phlebolith, which is formed by thrombus calcification. Sometimes involved nerves are compressed, there is pain, muscle weakness in the affected area.

Third: cavernous hemangioma lesions in addition to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, can also occur in the mucosa, muscle and even bone, hemangioma in the cheek can expand greatly, causing serious facial deformity, to buccal submucosal expansion, causing oral mass, affect eating mouth chewing, and can squeeze jaw and other tissues, resulting in jaw deformity, muscle atrophy.
