The non-involuting congenital hemangioma, NICH, presents as a solitary, well-circumscribed reddish-pink to purple plaque with central telangiectasia and hypopigmented rim. [9] In contrast to RICH, NICH does not involute and rarely ulcerates.
Congenital hemangiomas are present and fully formed at birth, [5] and only account for 2% of the hemangiomas. They do not have the postnatal phase of proliferation common to infantile hemangiomas. [6] There are two main variants of congenital hemangioma: non-involuting, and rapidly involuting (beginning in the first year of life). [6]
Congenital hemangiomas are classified according to whether they shrink and go away, or do not shrink, and do not go away, or partially shrink. Those that shrink are known as rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas (RICH) and go away quickly. Those that do not shrink, and remain are known as noninvoluting congenital hemangiomas (NICH).
Microvenular hemangioma is an acquired benign vascular tumor that presents as an asymptomatic, slowly growing, 0.5- to 2.0 cm reddish lesion on the forearms or other sites of young to middle-aged adults. [2] The cause of microvenular hemangioma is unknown, however it has been associated with immunosuppression.
Vertebral hemangiomas are observed throughout any age, although most are diagnosed in people within their 50s alongside a higher presence in females with a 1:1.5 male-to-female ratio. They often present in the vertebral body of the thoracic and lumbar spine with potential to extend into the posterior arch.

[39] [40] Radiation can also be used to treat hemangiomas in the rectum. [38] Benign skin tumors are usually surgically resected but other treatments such as cryotherapy, curettage, electrodesiccation, laser therapy, dermabrasion, chemical peels and topical medication are used. [41] [42]
These lesions often grow at a rapid pace, similar to that of raised hemangiomas. No family history of prior lymphangiomas is described. [citation needed] Cystic hygroma causes deep subcutaneous cystic swelling, usually in the axilla, base of the neck, or groin, and is typically noticed soon after birth. If the lesions are drained, they will ...
