Capillary hemangioma

Hemangioma is a relatively common benign tumor and congenital vascular malformation. There are many types of hemangiomas. Many times after suffering from hemangioma, there will be obvious symptoms on the skin surface. The type of hemangioma can be determined based on these symptoms. Capillary hemangioma is not serious in the early stages and there will be no complications, but patients should pay attention to changes in the hemangioma.

Self-diagnosis of capillary hemangioma Strawberry capillary hemangioma: A small number of children are born with round or oval patches of varying sizes, which are composed of scattered red spots fused or incompletely fused, and are not higher than or slightly higher than the skin surface. The surface is slightly rough, and most of them are just tiny red dots, which expand and merge into blocks, often 3-4 mm above the skin, bright red, and with many granular surfaces, similar to strawberries, hence the name.

Neonatal nevus: also known as orange spot, commonly found on the forehead, upper eyelid, between the eyebrows, around the nose or around the neck and jaw. It is orange-red or light red, does not protrude from the skin, and fades with light pressure. It increases slightly as the child grows, but the color does not deepen. Most of them disappear on their own within a few months and do not require treatment. Port-wine stains (porcelain nevus): mostly seen on the face, with a small number on the trunk or limbs. They are light red to dark red, or dark purple, and do not protrude above the skin surface. The range of the lesion expands as the child grows and will not disappear on its own. Some patients have concurrent systemic abnormalities such as glaucoma.

High-frequency electrode therapy for the treatment of capillary hemangioma : High-frequency electrode therapy is a three-dimensional ultrasound positioning technique that uses the most advanced high-frequency electrode therapy device and catheter needle to directly act on the tumor cell membrane and the elastic fibers and collagen fibers in the perivascular tissue. High heat is generated in the tumor, causing the blood vessel wall to emulsify, coagulate, and shrink. The tumor gradually shrinks, and the abnormal blood vessels lose the ability to expand again. Suitable for more severe hemangiomas. Ultrasound micro-mediated surgery: Ultrasound micro-mediated surgery is a procedure in which a microcatheter is inserted through puncture into the diseased blood vessels and enlarged lesions that cause abnormal structures after color Doppler ultrasound positioning. Ultrasound ablation technology is used within the hemangioma to shrink the walls of the blood supplying branches and narrow the lumen, thereby reducing blood supply to the tumor and achieving a balance between blood supply and return to the tumor, thereby achieving the purpose of cure. Higher security.
