    Author: Zhou RF.
    Journal: Zhonghua Zheng Xing Shao Shang Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1993 Sep; 9(5):325-7, 396. PubMed ID: 8143197.
    Abstract:
    Hemangioma is a common disease in infancy and childhood. From January, 1987 to January, 1992, the author had treated 11 out-patients of infants and children suffering from hemangioma with local injections of corticosteroid hormone and obtained an effective rate of 87.8% and cure rate of 51.2%. During the clinical observation, the author found that after injection, the hemangioma disappeared quickly without recurrence, infection, drug-induced side effects and other complications. It is considered that a mixture of corticosteroids is the first choice for local injection for the treatment of hemangioma in infancy and childhood. It is safe, effective and simple.
