| Cavernous hemangiomas |
|
|
| Cavernous hemangiomas are tumors that are benign by cell type but can have serious consequences. They are wild, jumbled growths of blood vessels fed by numerous tributary arteries making surgical removal extraordinarily difficult and risky in most cases. They are probably all present at birth, but start to enlarge rapidly after delivery. They may attain great size and cause significant disfigurement or even impinge on vital organs or the airway. |
