Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of a treatment combining propranolol and pingyangmycin for infantile hemangiomas (IH), which are common vascular tumors in infants that can grow rapidly.
  • Over 12 months, 120 children participated, with results showing significant reductions in both the Hemangioma Activity Score and serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), indicating improved condition with treatment.
  • The treatment was mostly well-tolerated, with mild and temporary side effects reported in 15% of patients, and there was a strong negative correlation between VEGF levels and hemangioma activity, suggesting the therapy's effectiveness relates to lowering VEGF.

Infantile haemangiomas (IHs) affect 3-10% of infants, 10% of whom need topical or systemic beta-blocker therapy. Propranolol is the first choice for IHs with a high risk of complications. Since more than half of IHs leave a permanent mark, to reduce outcomes, it is essential to start oral propranolol (2-3 mg/kg/day in 2 doses/day) within the 5th month of life (i.

Our Experience in Treating Infantile Hemangioma: Prognostic Factors for Relapse After Propranolol Discontinuation.

Adv Ther

November 2024

Department of Dermatology, Rambam Health Care Campus, 8th Ha'aliya Hashnia, 3109601, Haifa, Israel.

Article Synopsis
  • - Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common benign tumor in infants that typically resolves on its own, but some cases require treatment with propranolol, which has a high success rate but may lead to rebound growth when stopped.
  • - A study of 552 patients found that 12.6% experienced rebound growth after discontinuing propranolol; limb involvement predicted a lower likelihood of rebound growth, while younger age and a specific dose of 2 mg/kg/day improved treatment responses.
  • - The research concluded that IHs on limbs displayed reduced rebound growth and better responses to propranolol, highlighting the importance of early treatment initiation and appropriate dosing for better outcomes.

Masson's tumor is a benign intravascular lesion of proliferating endothelial cells that accounts for 2% of vascular and subcutaneous lesions. It manifests clinically as a bluish swelling, resembling a mucocele or hemangioma. Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) was coined by Clearkin and Enzinger in 1976 to describe reactive vascular expansion, following traumatic vascular stasis mimicking angiosarcoma.

Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, New York University School of Medicine, New York, New York, U.S.A.

Objective: Infantile subglottic hemangioma (SGH) poses a risk of airway compromise if untreated. Traditionally, operative endoscopy (OH) diagnoses SGH, but since the discovery of beta-blockers' efficacy in treating infantile hemangiomas (IHs) in 2008, and advances in endoscopic technology, nonoperative methods have emerged. This review identifies endoscopic practices for diagnosing and monitoring infantile SGH during the oral beta-blocker treatment era.

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are a common entity encountered by dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and other surgeons. Oral propranolol is a mainstay of treatment for IH and is well-tolerated, though propranolol-refractory IH and other drug-related adverse events are documented and can limit its usage. There are few in vitro testing systems for putative treatment agents.
