INFANTILE HEMANGIOMA OF THE SUBORBITAL AND POSTERIOR REGION. CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

Infantile hemangioma is one of the common benign vascular tumors found in infants. This tumor can undergo reverse development after the initial proliferation, so many doctors consider pharmacotherapy in this case impractical. It should be noted that some hemangiomas are accompanied by functional disorders, scars and painful on palpation. Therefore, it is important for the Clinician to understand the etiopathogenetic factors contributing to the development of tumors, morphological features, stages of development of this pathology when choosing methods and means of pharmacotherapy. This paper describes a clinical case of infantile hemangioma in a three-month-old child in the suborbital and posterior regions. Despite its benign nature, hemangiomas had features of a clinically malignant course. Despite the possibility of self-healing and stopping the growth of hemangioma with subsequent involution, its further course still remains unpredictable, which justifies the need for dispensary observation of the patient.
