Hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions characterized by endothelial vascular proliferation and may demonstrate aggressive clinical features. Intraosseous hemangiomas are uncommon and the maxillary location rare, with few cases described in the literature. The treatment of these lesions varies, however they have a better prognosis when a surgical treatment through resection is performed. Read More

Background/aim: Plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) are benign tumors of the periph eral nerves sheath, which can damage neighboring organs, impair functions, cause pain and serious maxillofacial disfigurement, and have a high risk of malignant transformation. Complete resection is usually not possible since PNFs often extend through multiple layers of tissue. Therefore, it is necessary and beneficial to find a reasonable drug treatment for PNFs.

Infantile hemangioma is one of the most common vascular tumors, which might result in morbidity and mortality without timely intervention. Propranolol is currently the first-line therapy for hemangiomas, but its potential side effects and high frequency of administration make it urgent to develop a suitable drug delivery system for propranolol. In the present study, we formulated a propranolol delivery system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PRN@MSN) and investigated the interplay between autophagic activities mediated by nanoparticles and improved therapeutic efficacy of PRN@MSN.

Propranolol is approved for treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IH). IH proliferation coincides with the time when most women are breastfeeding, yet there are no reports describing the clinical effects on infants treated with propranolol while being nursed by mothers on oral antihypertensive medications. We describe two cases of breastfed infants, with mothers taking multiple antihypertensives of different drug classes, who were initiated on propranolol for IH treatment and discuss the theoretical risk of propranolol use in this setting.

Background: Congenital hemangiomas present fully grown at birth and share a remarkably similar lack of disproportionate or accelerated postnatal proliferation.

Objective: We report a series of unusual congenital hemangiomas that arise prenatally and initially exhibit a proportional growth pattern similar to that of noninvoluting congenital hemangioma. However, a tardive expansion of the lesion, similar to the proliferation phase of infantile hemangioma, occurs later during childhood. Read More

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common benign tumor, which mostly resolves spontaneously; however, children with high-risk IH need treatment. Currently, the recognized first-line treatment regimen for IH is oral propranolol, but research on the pathogenesis of IH has led to the identification of new therapeutic targets, which have shown good curative effects, providing more options for disease treatment. This article summarizes the applications of different medications, dosages, and routes of administration for the treatment of IH. Read More

Nadolol is a β-adrenergic antagonist that has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of infantile hemangioma. It has been suggested that this drug may have fewer side effects compared with the gold standard therapy, propranolol, because it does not exhibit membrane-stabilizing effects and has little ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. However, the pharmacokinetics and safety of nadolol in infants are not well understood, potentially making this therapy dangerous. Read More

Vascular lesions mainly affect soft tissues, and less than 1% affect bone. In 1982, they were categorised by Mulliken and Glowacki as haemangiomas or vascular malformations, and an updated classification was subsequently published by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies. These lesions, however, continue to be termed haemangiomas and there is little attempt to differentiate between them. Read More
