Summary of the application value of ultrasound imaging features in the clinical differential diagnosis of intramuscular capillary-type hemangioma and fibro-adipose vascular anomaly.

Objective: To investigate the value of ultrasonography as a diagnostic aid in differentiating intramuscular capillary-type hemangioma (ICTH) from fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical and ultrasound imaging data of 20 patients with ICTH and 45 patients with FAVA who were admitted to and pathologically confirmed in hospital between January 2013 and April 2023. The clinical and ultrasonographic appearances of the lesions in the two groups were compared and analyzed.

Fibro-Adipose Vascular Anomaly: Characteristic Imaging Features on Sonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Objective: To analyse the image characteristics of fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) and the value of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for its diagnosis.

Methods: The clinical and imaging data characteristics of 10 patients with FAVA admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 who underwent ultrasound and MRI diagnosis were retrospectively analysed.

Results: A total of 10 patients (six males and four females) with pathologically confirmed FAVA, aged from 3 to 27 years (median: 13 years), underwent ultrasound and MRI; of these, two patients underwent MRI-enhanced examinations.

LncRNA-MALAT1 promotes tumorogenesis of infantile hemangioma by competitively binding miR-424 to stimulate MEKK3/NF-κB pathway.

Aims: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular neoplasm in infant and young children. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to be associated with IH. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of lncRNA-MALAT1 in IH.
