Patient's question:
When the baby was born, there was a red, grainy thing on the back of the neck. The doctor at the hospital said it was a hemangioma. It has been more than 9 months now, and it has not grown.Doctor's answer:
Venous malformations are often referred to as cavernous hemangiomas in many hospitals. In reality, they are not tumors but a type of vascular malformation. They are usually present at birth, possibly unnoticed at the time, and grow in sync with body development thereafter. Typically, they do not enlarge after adulthood. Currently, the main treatments include surgical excision and interventional sclerotherapy.
