Radiologic Findings of Peripheral Soft-Tissue Hemangioma
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Hemagiomas are beziga lesions of blood vessel that faithfully create well-formed vascular channels.
Eleven cases of pathologically proven peripheral soft-tissue hemangioma were clinically and radiologically analized, experienced at Hanyang University Hospital. Radiologic studies included plain radiograph of the extremities, peripheral arteriography, and ascending venography.
The results were as follows;
1. Of the 11 cases, 7 (63.6%) were either present at birth or noted during the first year of life.
2. Of the 11 cases, 3 (27.3%) were in the upper extremities, and 8(72.7%) in the loder extremities.
3. The cardinal symptoms and signs were soft-tissue swelling (7 cases), skin discoloration (6 cases), pain (3 cases), and dilated superficial veins (1 case).
4. Plain films showed sift-tissue mass (7 cases), soft-tissue calcification (5 cases), alteration of soft-tissue planes (4 cases), tortuous tubular shadows (2 cases), and bone erosion (1 case).
5. Angiographic findings were tumor staining (8 cases), pooling of contrast material (6 cases), increased ramification of the arteries (6 cases), hypervascularity (4 cases), enlarged & tortuous arteries (4 cases), and dilated & tortuous vein (3 cases). But neovascularity or direct arteriovenous shunt was not present in any case.
6. Capillary hemangioma showed little abnormality on radiologic studies, but cavernous hemangioma and venous angioma showed almost exclusively a variety of abnormality.
7. Peripheral angiography has proved useful in evaluation of peripheral soft-tissue hemangiomas by defining their extent, degree of vascularity, and source of vascular supply and allowing differentiation from other soft-tissue tumors.
