Hémangiomes infantiles : diagnostic différentiel et anomalies associées[Infantile hemangiomas: differential diagnosis and associated anomalies].

Infantile hemangiomas are frequent benign vascular tumors that are often easily recognized. However, the diagnosis between infantile hemangiomas and other vascular tumors, whether benign or malignant, may be difficult. This chapter describes the different clinical presentations of hemangiomas and details the investigations that are needed to confirm the nature of the lesion and to diagnose the potentially associated anomalies. Knowledge on differential diagnosis enables clinicians to detect hemangiomas that can lead to complications and that necessitate a multidisciplinary approach

Venous malformation: update on aetiopathogenesis, diagnosis and management.

The aim of this review was to discuss the current knowledge on aetiopathogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic management of venous malformations (VMs). VMs are slow-flow vascular anomalies. They are simple, sporadic or familial (cutaneomucosal VMs or glomuvenous malformations), combined (e.g. capillaro-venous and capillaro-lymphaticovenous malformations) or syndromic (Klippel-Trenaunay, blue rubber bleb naevus and Maffucci). Genetic studies have identified causes of familial forms and of 40% of sporadic VMs. Another diagnostic advancement is the identification of elevated D-dimer level as the first biomarker of VMs within vascular anomalies. Those associated with pain are often responsive to low-molecular-weight heparin, which should also be used to avoid disseminated intravascular coagulopathy secondary to intervention, especially if fibrinogen level is low. Finally, development of a modified sclerosing agent, ethylcellulose-ethanol, has improved therapy. It is efficient and safe, and widens indications for sclerotherapy to sensitive and dangerous areas such as hands, feet and periocular area

Place de la chirurgie dans les hémangiomes au stade des séquelles [Sequelae of haemangiomas: surgical treatment]

The cure without after-effect of an hemangioma is classic but sometimes the spontaneous involution, a premature surgical treatment or an evolutionary complication can be at the origin of a definitive after-effect. In these cases, the treatment of the hemangioma, often multidisciplinary, will be begun in a late way during the late childhood or the adolescence. Surgical excision of an excess tissue or of a wide scar, lipoaspiration of a fat remainder, lasertherapy and fat tissue reinjection are simple and mostly sufficient procedures. In the most complex cases, notably at the facial site, a surgery heavier as a rhinoplasty, a resection of lip, a local flap or orthognatic surgery can be necessary
