Patient's question:
I have an uncle who has always been very caring towards me since I was a child. Over the years, he has been studying and working abroad and has not had time to come home. Last month, when he came back, he saw that his uncle was very unwell. He said he had a hemangioma. Is a hemangioma a very serious illness?Doctor's answer:
A hemangioma is a common focal lesion. Generally speaking, the severity of the disease is not very serious. However, if it is located in a special position or the size of the hemangioma is relatively large, some obvious symptoms may occur. Generally speaking, ultrasound or CT examination is needed to determine the size of the hemangioma. If the position is not good or the size is large, surgical treatment is recommended. After the surgery, it is necessary to pay close attention to rest.
