Cavernous hemangioma, also called cavernous angioma, venous malformation, or cavernoma, [1][2] is a type of venous malformation due to endothelial dysmorphogenesis from a lesion which is present at birth. A cavernoma in the brain is called a cerebral cavernous malformation or CCM. Despite its designation as a hemangioma, a cavernous hemangioma ...
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a cavernous hemangioma that arises in the central nervous system.It can be considered to be a variant of hemangioma, and is characterized by grossly large dilated blood vessels and large vascular channels, less well circumscribed, and more involved with deep structures, with a single layer of endothelium and an absence of neuronal tissue within the lesions.
Oncology. A cavernous liver hemangioma or hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver composed of large vascular spaces lined by monolayer hepatic endothelial cells. It is the most common benign liver tumour, and is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on radiological imaging or during laparotomy for other intra-abdominal issues.
An infantile hemangioma (IH), sometimes called a strawberry mark due to appearance, is a type of benign vascular tumor or anomaly that affects babies. [1][2] Other names include capillary hemangioma, [6] " strawberry hemangioma ", [7]: 593 strawberry birthmark[8] and strawberry nevus. [6] and formerly known as a cavernous hemangioma.
Hemangioma. A hemangioma or haemangioma is a usually benign vascular tumor derived from blood vessel cell types. The most common form, seen in infants, is an infantile hemangioma, known colloquially as a "strawberry mark", most commonly presenting on the skin at birth or in the first weeks of life. A hemangioma can occur anywhere on the body ...
Cavernous lymphangiomas are generally present at birth, but may appear later in the child's life. [6] These bulging masses occur deep under the skin, typically on the neck, tongue and lips, [ 7 ] and vary widely in size, ranging from as small as a centimeter in diameter to several centimeters wide.
Cavernous hemangiomas (also called hepatic hemangioma or liver hemangioma) are the most common type of benign liver tumor, found in 3%– 10% of people. [2] They are made up of blood clusters that are surrounded by endothelial cells. [5] These hemangiomas get their blood supply from the hepatic artery and its branches. [5]
Angioma. Angiomas are benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic vessel walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these vessels. [1][2] Angiomas are a frequent occurrence as patients age, but they might be an indicator of systemic problems such as liver disease. They are not commonly associated with ...
