Large Capillary Haemangioma: A Case Report And Review Of Literature
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: A capillary haemangioma (strawberry birthmark) is a benign tumour consisting of an abnormal overgrowth of tiny blood vessels. Capillary haemangioma may not be present at birth, but may appear at 6 months of life. This vascular tumour is not common. We therefore report a case of large capillary haemangioma of the cheek in a five month old boy. Aim: To outline the clinical presentation and management of a large capillary haemangioma of the cheek in a five month old baby boy. Findings: The tumour occurred on the left cheek and measured 5cm by 4cm at presentation. Injection of sclerosant was done three times under general anaesthesia and final excision of the fibrous tissue was done. Conclusion: Large capillary haemangiomas of the cheek affect the appearance of the child and causes undue pressure on the contingent tissues. This causes anxiety for the care givers. It is essential to treat the tumour as early as possible especially in large lesion with disfigurement or where it is complicated by haemorrhage or infection.
