Patient's question:
A friend of mine, who is 43 years old, was hospitalized today. I heard that he suffers from a type of angioma. Then, he is preparing for a surgical procedure involving cutting it. I asked the doctor: What is an angioma? Is it a tumor that grows inside blood vessels? How is it cut?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is a benign tumor or vascular malformation of the skin and soft tissues caused by the proliferation of vascular cells. Currently, the common treatments for hemangiomas include drug therapy, laser therapy, and surgical treatment. Your friend is already 43 years old. He should undergo surgical treatment, which involves the excision of the affected tissue and sending it for pathological examination to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended that you advise your friend to have the surgery as early as possible.
