  • Title: Hemangiomas of the head and neck.
    Author: Fitzpatrick EL, Cote DN.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 1995 Jul; 147(7):291-5. PubMed ID: 7650428.
    Abstract:
    The physician's ability to diagnose different types of vascular anomalies, predict their clinical course, and choose the correct mode of treatment has been hampered by the inconsistent, overlapping nomenclature found in the bulk of medical literature. This article discusses how to differentiate hemangiomas from other vascular anomalies. In addition, it reviews complications associated with hemangiomas and various treatment options for hemangiomas including observation, corticosteroids, interferon, surgical resection, laser surgery, and radiotherapy.
