The term "hemangioma" refers to the common tumor of infancy that exhibits rapid postnatal growth and slow regression during childhood. It may cause confusion with venous malformations that are often incorrectly called "cavernous hemangioma". Venous malformations comprise abnormally formed channels that are lined by quiescent endothelium. Accurate diagnosis is required for selecting the appropriate treatment.
“血管瘤”一词是指婴儿期常见的肿瘤,其在出生后迅速生长,在儿童期缓慢消退。它可能与静脉畸形混淆,静脉畸形常被错误地称为“海绵状血管瘤”。静脉畸形由异常形成的通道组成,其由静止的内皮细胞排列。准确的诊断是选择适当治疗方法的前提。
