ABSTRACT

Hemangioma is regarded as a congenital vascular abnormality rather than a neoplasm. Hemangioma is very important for cosmetic considerations. Hemangiomas are classified as capillary, cavernous, and sclerosing types. The approach of surgeons and pathologists to the problem of hemangiomas has often been deficient in organization and authentication. The difficulty lies in the determination of treatment methods and time. We have classified 78 cases with hemangioma in the head and neck region who visited the S.N.U.H. druing the period of Jan. 1965 to Jan. 1975 in several clinical points. The results are as follows : 1) Hemangiomas are three times more common in females than in males, and manifested at birth in 62.8%. 2) In the age group under 10 yrs old hemangiomas are mostly in cavernous type, but in the age group over 10 yrs old in capillary type. 3) Hemangiomas are mostly solitary, and the most common sites are cheek (33.8%), head (20.6%), lip (7.4%), tongue (7.4%), and neck (5.9%) in order. 4) Hemangiomas developed cosmetic problems in 88.8%, and surgical excision & plastic reconstruction and expectation for the spontaneous regression are better treatment methods.
