What is a vascular nevus

First of all, vascular nevus is the most common benign tumor in infants. It is formed by the proliferation of vascular network in the embryonic period. It is generally a natural condition. It will be found after the birth of infants. It is generally bright red.

Secondly, there are two kinds of vascular nevus, hemangioma and vascular malformation. Vascular malformation is vascular dysplasia, which can not disappear for life.

Finally, hemangioma is caused by the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells. Strawberry hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma are more common in clinic. It is generally believed that the natural course of hemangioma can be divided into proliferative stage, stable stage and regression stage. Hemangioma grows rapidly in the neonatal period and is generally not life-threatening. From the age of one to one and a half years, they entered a stable period. 75% ～ 80% of the children are expected to have complete spontaneous regression of hemangioma at the age of 7 years.
