Hemangioma Research Paper

     Distinguishing melanoma may seem hard to do, but is not so once a person is informed on what they should be looking for. They may appear similar to moles, and may be blue or black in color. Though they will usually lack the symmetry and border regularity of a common mole, and may have variance in their coloring. Melanomas can either appear suddenly, or develop slowly near a preexisting mole. In rare cases, melanomas may form on top of previously formed moles or birthmarks, but will also come with the effects of pain, itching, or bleeding. These moles may begin to exhibit new and/or strange characteristics such as

There are two types of haematoma. The first type intramuscular haematoma this is where bleeding occurs within the compartment of the muscle but does not seep into any surrounding tissue. The second type intramuscular haematoma is where blood escapes into surrounding areas such as muscles or tissue and stays in that muscle or part of the body.

These brown coloured cancerous growths develop when unrepaired DNA has committed damage to the body’s skin cells. It is known that it is the most commonly triggered by vigorous amounts of sunshine, over excessive use of tanning bed and UV lights which result in making mutations in the skin that produces the skin cells to over multiply at a quick rate which can eventually form nasty tumours.

neck, under arms, or inner thighs. Eventually these lumps would ooze pus and blood, signaling internal

The first is the ABCDE rule. Each letter stands for a sign or symptom to be on the lookout for. “A” is for asymmetry. Melanoma lesions are typically not symmetrical. “B” stands for border. The borders of melanoma are jagged and blurry, usually with no definitive end. “C” represents color. Melanoma varies in color within the lesion and can be tan, brown, black, red, blue, or white. “D” or diameters in melanoma lesions are usually larger than an eraser on a pencil, about 6 mm. “E” corresponds to evolution. Evolution is characterized by any change happening within a lesion, or growth of a satellite lesion (Calianno, 2011). The second rule is the “Ugly Duckling” rule. This rule points of the significance of a lesion that is different than those that immediately surround it, or a lesion that is in an area by itself (Pullen,

They also have not been able to find a cause for cardiac angiosarcoma, but they have been able to at least figure out some factors that play a role in being diagnosed. Angiosarcomas can present in many different ways. It can look like skin infection, a bruise or even a cut that does not heal. It may have a violet color, and the deep seated tumors may go unnoticed until they begin to affect surrounding tissues and organs. (Tunstall).

The lesions that form first as spots on the skin. The lesions are usually purple, red, or brown. They can be flat and not raised which is called patches. The lesions can be flat but slightly raised called plaques. The lesions of Kaposi sarcoma can also be bumps called nodules. The lesions can appear in almost any area but are more common on the legs, groin area, or face. Lesions can also develop on mucous membranes such as in the mouth, throat, eyes, in the lungs, or in the digestive tract. (Chang, 2014) Diagnosing Kaposi sarcoma involves many tests. First you will have a complete medical history assessment and physical exam. If Kaposi sarcoma is suspected the doctor will then order a biopsy of the lesions present. A chest x-ray will be ordered to visualize the lungs to check for lesions in the lungs. A bronchoscopy will allow the doctor to look into the windpipe and large air ways of the lungs to check for lesions. There will also be some gastrointestinal endoscopy ordered to visualize the digestive tract to see if any lesions are present. (Chang,

He goes into detail about the birthmark relating to the disease. It is caused by a “facial cutaneous venous dilation, also referred to as a nevus flammeus or port-wine stain” (Takeoka, 1994). Statistics shows that 96% of patients diagnosed with Sturge-Weber Syndrome have a visible stain at birth. The mark caused by venous dilation can appear as one large birthmark or several patches along the face. Not only does he talk about the facial aspects of the disease, but also the neurological part as well. Leptomeningeal angiomas are “demonstrated by structural neuroimaging that may be unilateral or bilateral; unilateral angiomas are more common” ( Takeoka, 1994). Depending on the location of leptomeningeal angiomas, the neurological effects can vary. They are usually located in the back of the brain in the occipital region that is on the same side of the port-wine birthmark. Some of the symptoms that involves leptomeningeal angiomas includes seizures (most common starting at the age of one), focal deficits (that can include hemianopsia and hemiparesis), and developmental disorders (“developmental delay, learning disorders, and mental retardation/intellectual disability; more common when angiomas are bilateral” (Takeoka, 1994)). Another abnormality caused by the disease is an increased

It's a non-cancerous growth on a persons body that can be brown, black, or tan in color. It can grow all alone, but it usually likes to grow in groups. It can be a raised area of the skin, could be scaly, or may even have a waxy looking appearance. These growths don't really need to be treated unless they become irritated by things like your jewelry, clothing, or soaps and detergents.

2. Symptoms are a firm, red nodule that may bleed sometimes. A flat lesion with a scaly crust on your face, ears, neck, hands or arms

This condition often occurs on the face, chest, shoulders, back, or other areas. These growths:

Figure 41. Common hemangioma of infancy in a 9-month-old girl who presented with a right shoulder mass. Coronal unenhanced T1-weighted (a), STIR (b), and gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted (c) MR images show a well-defined, lobulated soft-tissue mass confined to the subcutaneous soft tissues. The mass is isointense relative to muscle on the unenhanced T1-weighted image, is hyperintense on the STIR image, and shows diffuse enhancement on the gadolinium-enhanced image. All three images demonstrate small, intralesional signal void foci due to high-flow vessels.quoted from(Navarro et al;2009).

1. Fibular hemimelia can be classified into type 1 fibular hemimelia, which involves minimal hypoplasia of the fibula, and type 2 fibular hemimelia, which involves a complete absence of the fibula.

Cephalohematoma is a pooling of blood under the skin of the newborn’s skull in between the periosteum and the skull bone; it is usually associated with forceps or vacuum assisted deliveries because of damaged blood vessels and does not pose significant risk to the baby.
