AI Article Synopsis
- The origin of epithelioid hemangioma is debated, with some suggesting it's a tumor (neoplastic) while others think it's a reaction to injury (reactive).
- A frequent aspect of these cases is the history of trauma to the affected area.
- The report details a specific instance of epithelioid hemangioma occurring in a child's internal carotid artery, linked to a prior medical procedure for life support as an infant.
Article Abstract
The pathogenesis of epithelioid hemangioma is intriguing and has remained a controversial topic in the medical literature. Whether its etiology follows a neoplastic or reactive process is unclear, but a history of traumatic insult to the involved region is common. We report a case of epithelioid hemangioma of the internal carotid artery in a child who had undergone cannulization of the internal jugular vein as an infant to receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Cavernous hemangiomas of the external auditory canal simultaneously affecting the tympanic membrane are extremely rare. Endoscopic otosurgery has been successfully used for resecting various ear lesions because of its wider surgical field of view and minimal trauma. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a 6-month history of left ear congestion.

Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a type of cerebrovascular abnormality in the central nervous system linked to both germline and somatic genetic mutations. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have shown that various drugs can effectively reduce the burden of CCM lesions. Despite significant progress, the mechanisms driving CCM remain incompletely understood, and to date, no drugs have been developed that can cure or prevent CCM.

Vascular anomalies are broadly classified into 2 categories: vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Vascular anomalies frequently present as cutaneous lesions in infants. This review summarizes vascular anomalies that most commonly present as dermatologic lesions in the neonatal period, with a focus on the clinical findings, pathophysiology and histology, relevant radiographic findings, and management of common vascular anomalies such as infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas, and Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, along with vascular malformations, including capillary, lymphatic, venous, and arteriovenous malformations.
