\"\"<\/a>A benign blood vessel neoplasm; may occur as capillary or cavernous; soft, painless, red to purple, blanches on pressure.<\/p>\n

\n

A tumor composed of blood vessels or large spaces containing blood.<\/p>\n

\n

General name for a variety of discolorations on the skin of newly born infants, sometimes called birthmarks. These are a form of nevus (skin blemish) caused by an abnormal mass of blood vessels, sometimes called a vascular nevus.<\/p>\n

\n

Hemangiomata, benign tumor consisting of blood vessels. Some occur as birthmarks (strawberry hemangioma), often spontaneously disappearing; others develop later in me, often in the elderly.<\/p>\n

\n

Congenital proliferation of blood vessels resulting in a mass; occurs frequently in the skin and subcutaneous tissue.<\/p>\n

\n

A common tumor consisting of a proliferation of blood vessels that develops at or soon after birth. There are two primary types: capillary hemangiomas and cavernous hemangiomas. Capillary hemangiomas are slightly raised and bright red and are caused by blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Cavernous hemangiomas are blue and are caused by blood vessels that are located deeper in the skin.<\/p>\n

\n

A benign tumor of blood vessels. It often appears on the skin as a type of birthmark. For example, a strawberry hemangioma is seen in newborn babies and infants, usually on the face; it is red and may attain a very large size, but usually disappears spontaneously within the first year of life. Senile hemangiomas occur in the elderly.<\/p>\n

\n

A benign tumor composed of dilated blood vessels and often encapsulated within a fibrous shell. Also called \u201ccavernous hemangioma.\u201d It may be found on the skin, or in an internal organ.<\/p>\n
