Introduction: Hemangiomas are regenerative benign vascular tumors of the child, which may be of interest to all organs, most often located on the skin. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of haemangiomas on black skin. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study that took place from November 2015 to August 2016 at CNAM, in the department of dermatology-leprology- Venereology of Mali.
Results: Of 14,810 patients seen in consultation, we received 17 cases of hemangioma, ie 0,11%. The average age was 5 months with extremes of 1 month and 60 months. Tuberous angiomas represent 82,35% of clinical forms, subcutaneous angiomas 11,76% and mixed angiomas 5,89%. In 4/17 of our patients there was an infectious complication, following an ulceration on the first day of the consultation. The average lesion size was 3,25cm with extreme 0.5cm and 8cm. The number of lesions per patient was 1 in 16 patients and 2 in 1 patient. In 10/17 patients the lesions were localized at the cephalic level, 3/17 at the trunk level, and 4/17 at the perineum.
Conclusion: Infantile hemangioma is a poorly reported condition on black skin. The demands for care are motivated either by the character showing lesions or by ulcerative complications. Sensitization of populations and ongoing training of health workers are needed to detect hemangiomas.

Purpose: Survival of patients with metastatic sarcoma remains poor, and there is a pressing need for new therapies. Most sarcoma subtypes are not responsive to immune checkpoint inhibition alone. Lenvatinib, a multireceptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting tumor vasculature, has an immunomodulatory activity that contributes to its antitumor effects.

Article Synopsis
- Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a rare, benign skin condition mostly seen in people in their 20s, typically affecting the trunk and lower limbs.
- It presents as a distinctive violaceous papule surrounded by a pale area and an ecchymotic ring, resembling a target.
- A case study describes a 23-year-old male with a recurring blue-black lesion on his shoulder, diagnosed as targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma based on dermoscopic patterns.

Background: Follow-up is recommended for an asymptomatic unilocular hepatic cystic lesion without wall-thickness and nodular components. A few liver cystic lesions represent biliary cystic neoplasms, which are difficult to differentiate from simple cysts with benign mural nodules on imaging alone.
Case Presentation: An 84-year-old woman with a history of simple liver cyst diagnosed one year prior was admitted for evaluation of a developed mural nodule in the cystic lesion.

Article Synopsis
- - A woman in her 50s was found to have a suspicious lesion near the inferior vena cava after a CT scan, prompting further imaging that suggested it was an extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
- - Subsequent tests showed that the lesion was non-functional, with normal levels of certain biochemical markers, leading to a decision for surgical removal without prior medication to block effects.
- - Upon histological examination after laparoscopic resection, the lesion was identified as a venous malformation, which, while benign, was still removed due to potential hemorrhage risks.
