Hemangioma:
Chapter: 10
Common congenital vascular lesions usually occurring in skin, but may be found in internal organs. Their true origin is uncertain - are they true neoplasms or hamartomas? Capillary hemangiomas are composed of vascular channels the size of normal capillaries. Those that are present in newborns often regress by the age of 5 years. Cavernous hemangiomas consists of large vascular channels. These do not regress.
