Abstract
Vascular anomalies are broadly classified as either vascular tumours or vascular malformations. Haemangiomas come under vascular tumours and are the fourth most common tumor of the hand and consist primarily of proliferating blood vessels within the soft tissue. The common symptoms include progressive enlargement of the lesion and throbbing pain. Haemangiomas are readily compressible, poorly defined, bluish, subcutaneous masses that distended when the venous return was obstructed and contracted when the extremity was elevated. Plain radiographs will show a soft tissue mass and the typical calcification of phleboliths may be seen. The treatment of haemangiomas is surgical excision with the ligation of the tributory vessels to decrease the chances of recurrence. Here, we report a case of a haemangioma of the hand which was surgically excised.
