Hemangiomas revisited: the useful, the unusual and the new. Part 2: endangering hemangiomas and treatment

Ricardo Restrepo et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2011 Jul.

Abstract

Hemangiomas, although benign tumors, can when located in particular regions threaten vital structures or in certain clinical circumstances be associated with other abnormalities, carrying significant morbidity and mortality. We review these endangering hemangiomas. We also discuss briefly the treatment with emphasis on the recent use of propranolol.
