What is a hemangioma?
A hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that can appear on the skin or internal organs. While often present at birth or appearing shortly after, they can vary in size, location, and growth patterns.
Treatment is recommended for hemangiomas that interfere with function, cause complications such as ulceration or bleeding, or lead to cosmetic concerns. Your specialist will evaluate the hemangioma and determine the best approach.
Treatment may include observation, medications, laser therapy, or surgical intervention depending on the type, size, and location of the hemangioma. The team develops individualized care plans to optimize outcomes while minimizing risks.
