Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Hemangiomas are the most commonly seen human congenital anomalies. They are commonly seen in infancy and childhood. Patients commonly present to pediatrician or plastic surgeon with one of the most difficult problems known in medicine. Hemangiomas are not true neoplasms but may be defined as “congenital hamartomas, representing mesodermal rests of vasoformative tissue”. Study aimed to summarize the basis, principles of selection and timing of treatment, approaches to various clinical types of surface haemangiomas with special reference to role of intralesional corticosteroid therapy. Material and Methods: The study was performed in patients of haemangiomas attending outpatient department or being admitted in our surgical wards of LLR’s and associated hospitals Kanpur from the period of august 1992 to July 1993. After proper consent different modes of treatment such as (Sclerosing agent, interstitial diathermy coagulation, Compression treatment, Surgery and oral/intralesional Corticosteroids) were applied and results were analyzed statistically. Results: Capillary type of lesion was most frequent and more commonly seen in females. Usual Complication were ulceration, infection hemorrhage and hematoma Combined treatment was good is small sized capillary lesion. Compression with systemic / Intralesional corticosteroid shows mixed response while Surgery gave best results than other modes of therapy. Intralesional corticosteroid therapy shows very good response in rapidly growing haemangiomas which are small or medium sized capillary / cavernous both types of lesion effect in large sized slow growing lesion was poor. Conclusion: Intralesional corticosteroid therapy is better amongst angiomatous lesion less than 3cm (80-100%).
