Unsure of What that Spot Could Be?

  • A hemangioma is an overgrowth of blood vessels that typically appears in infancy. Hemangiomas will grow quickly in a short period of time, then level off in growth, and usually go away on their own without treatment. Hemangiomas can sometimes block the eye, ear, or airway. In severe cases like these, treatment with beta-blockers or rarely surgery may be indicated. Sometimes, hemangiomas can leave residual tissue after they shrink, and this can be treated when your child is older.

    A vascular malformation is an abnormal development of blood vessels. It can involve large arteries and veins (venous or arteriovenous malformation), smaller vessels called capillaries (capillary malformation or port-wine stain), and/or lymphatic channels (lymphatic malformation. Vascular malformation are always present at birth and grow with your child. They can cause pain, disfigurement, bleeding, swelling, and other symptoms. Depending on the specific type of malformation, we offer a spectrum of options to remove treat these, from laser therapy to sclerotherapy to ablation and surgical excision.
