Overview
Patients with small hemangiomas (less than 4 cm) are managed by observation, whereas asymptomatic patients are followed up with periodic radiological examination.[1]
Medical Therapy
Patients with small hemangiomas (less than 4 cm) are managed by observation, whereas asymptomatic patients are followed up with periodic radiological examination.[1]
- Hemangiomas less than 10 cm should generally not be treated, even before a pregnancy. In case of a planned pregnancy and a size more than 10 cm, due to the risk of a possible rupture, a definitive treatment should be discussed.[2][3]
