Hemangiomas

Hemangiomas are vascular malformations which appear like raised, red birthmarks. The majority occur in infants and young children with most lesions disappearing completely by age 7. While most of these lesions are superficial, hemangiomas can spread rapidly, causing considerable mental anguish to patients and their families.

On occasion hemangiomas can be internal with life-threatening results if they interfere with the function of vital organs.
