A Giant Congenital Lobular Capillary Haemangioma

Angiomas are the most common cutaneous defect at the birth and they include haemangiomas and vascular malformations. Haemangiomas, the most common paediatric tumours, are benign tumours of capillary endothelium. They are caused by local defects of angioblastic tissue proliferation during the final stage of cutaneous capillary system differentiation which occurs in the perinatal period when it is still disorganized. Correct classification differentiates haemangiomas into superficial, deep or sub-cutaneous and mixed haemangiomas. 

Besides, haemangiomas can be evident at birth or may appear later. Lobular capillary haemangioma (LCH) is a relatively common benign mucocutaneous lesion in children and young adults. The modern definition of LCH is widely accepted and reflects the opinion that the underlying process consists in a lobular vascular proliferation probably of neoplastic origin. Read more>>>>>>>>>>>
