Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with hemangioma. It is usually reserved for patients with either massive protuberant proliferating hemangioma and lesions that are refractory to less invasive treatments.[1][2]
Surgery
- Surgical management involves excision, laser treatment or both.
- Intralesional steroid treatment is also an option for focal hemangiomas such as:
- Parotid
- Nasal tip
- Subglottis
- Eyelid
- Repeat therapy is often required, but systemic side effects are limited.
- Excision is the appropriate for localized lesions the fibrofatty remnants (residuum) of involuted hemangiomas.
- Elective subtotal excision of massive protuberant proliferating hemangiomas can be employed in order to maintain aesthetic facial boundaries.
- Small remnants of disease are then left for involution.
Excision
- Excision is the appropriate for localized lesions the fibrofatty remnants (residuum) of involuted hemangiomas.
- Elective subtotal excision of massive protuberant proliferating hemangiomas can be employed in order to maintain aesthetic facial boundaries.
- Small remnants of disease are then left for involution.
Pulsed dye laser
Pulsed dye laser is considered to be effective choice for a series of skin disorders including superficial hemangiomas.[3]
- Residual erythema and telangiectasias frequently remain in involuted hemangiomas and are best treated by selective photothermolysis using the flash pulse dye laser (FPDL).
- Ulcerative lesions during proliferation can be treated with FPDL to induce healing and new epidermal growth.
