1/38. Surgery of angiomas in the brainstem with a stress on the presence of telangiectasia.This report deals with the surgery of angiomas other than arteriovenous malformation in the brainstem. The surgical cases were three cavernomas, two telangiectasias, and two venous malformations. We performed surgery when an angioma bled and the resulting hematoma was situated near the surface of the brainstem or the fourth ventricle. The cases were operated on at the subacute or chronic stages after hemorrhage. Although a magnetic resonance (MR) image showed a subacute or chronic localized hematoma with a low intensity rim, the case was not always a cavernoma, but a telangiectasia. Cavernomas could be totally removed, but telangiectasia could not. In the cases of medullary venous malformation the diagnosis was obtained radiologically, and when the hematoma was large, only hematoma evacuation was performed. In all cases the postoperative Karnofsky scores were improved or unchanged. Postoperative rebleeding in the hematoma cavity continued insidiously in a case of telangiectasia. The abnormal vessels of telangiectasia in the brainstem were preoperatively not visualized by cerebral angiography or MR imaging, but became visualized by enhanced MR imaging after evacuation of hematoma in two cases. It is stressed that an angioma with a hematoma intensity core surrounded by a low intensity rim on MR images is not always a cavernoma, but possibly is a telangiectasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = angioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/38. Angioma serpiginosum: a report of 2 cases identified using epiluminescence microscopy.BACKGROUND: Angioma serpiginosum is a rare, acquired vascular lesion simulating purpura, and should be differentiated from purpuric dermatoses such as Henoch-Schonlein purpura. OBSERVATIONS: We report 2 cases of angioma serpiginosum examined using epiluminescence microscopy. Characteristic findings of angiomas ("red lagoons") were observed entirely or focally in these 2 cases, but not in 4 cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura and a case of senile purpura. CONCLUSION: Epiluminescence microscopy is beneficial in distinguishing angioma serpiginosum from purpuric dermatoses.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.42857142857143keywords = angioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/38. Angioma serpiginosum with extensive cutaneous involvement.Angioma serpiginosum is a rare condition that involves both the proliferation and dilatation of superficial blood vessels in the skin. It classically begins in childhood, is more common in females, and is asymptomatic. Typical lesions appear on the extremities and are often asymmetric. We report a case of angioma serpiginosum involving extensive areas of the extremities and the trunk to emphasize that extensive cutaneous involvement must be included in the clinical spectrum of this condition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = angioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/38. macrocephaly-Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita without cutis marmorata?We report on two patients with clinical manifestations consistent with a diagnosis of macrocephaly-cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (M-CMTC). Both showed macrocephaly with high forehead, overgrowth, capillary hemangiomata involving philtrum, nose, and lips, and redundant skin. In addition, the first had cutis marmorata and joint laxity. The second had postaxial polydactyly of hands and feet, cutaneous syndactyly of third and fourth right fingers and of second and third right toes without evident cutis marmorata. A magnetic resonance imaging scan showed cerebral alterations in both patients. The first had bilateral cortical dysplasia with frontal bilateral myelinization defect of corona radiata. The second had mild intertonsillar widening, cavum septi pellucidi, small porencephalic areas in the anterolateral region of cellae, and subsequently developed a nonobstructive hydrocephalus. Reviewing all reported cases we propose a new criterion for M-CMTC diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14504143202768keywords = angioma, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/38. CT features of mediastinal lymphangiohemangioma associated with superior vena cava ectasia. A case report.We present a case of mediastinal mesenchymal tumor in a 53-year-old woman with a 1-month history of chest tightness. A histological diagnosis of lymphangiohemangioma was obtained by excisional biopsy. CT findings are reported with emphasis on its association with intratumoral superior vena cava ectasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.72520716013842keywords = angioma, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/38. hypotrichosis, lymphedema of the legs and acral telangiectasias--new syndrome?We describe a girl of Turkish descent suffering from a peculiar combination of symptoms. The presenting complaint was bilateral lymphedema of the legs; additional symptoms include hypotrichosis, telangiectasias and angiomata limited to acral regions. We discuss the possibility that this girl suffers from Noonan/cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome. We conclude that the combination of symptoms listed here probably represents a new syndrome for which we propose the name hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = angioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |

8/38. Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with hemangiomatous histopathologic features.Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a congenital cutaneous vascular malformation that is diagnosed on the typical clinical findings of persistent cutis marmorata, telangiectasia, phlebectasia, occasional ulceration and atrophy, and tendency for clinical improvement. Histopathologic findings seldom have been reported. We report a case of CMTC with atypical histopathologic findings of proliferation of vasculature in addition to dilated capillaries in the dermis. We have reviewed all cases of CMTC with histopathologic findings published in the English-language literature. The most common and prominent finding was dilation of capillaries and veins in the dermis (13/15 cases). Two cases, including our own, demonstrated proliferation of vascular channels. The implications of vascular proliferation on the clinical course of CMTC are unclear.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.58016572811074keywords = angioma, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/38. Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia and hyperthyroidism: a new association or coincidence?Telangiectasia and spider angioma were distributed in a unilateral, dermatomal pattern in a female patient. physical examination and laboratory studies revealed hyperthyroidism. The possible effects of thyroid hormones on formation of vascular nevi were considered to be noteworthy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = angioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/38. Flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser treatment for pyogenic granuloma.Pyogenic granuloma is a frequently diagnosed, benign vascular lesion common in children and young adults. Treatment of pyogenic granuloma consists of removal of the lesion for therapeutic as well as diagnostic purposes. Current treatment modalities include curettage with electrodesiccation, cryosurgery, chemical cauterization, and argon laser therapy. However, these methods are not without the risk of complications such as scarring and pigmentary changes. The recently reported success of the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser for treating telangiectasias, hemangiomas, and port-wine stains led us to hypothesize that this same device, using different variables, such as multiple overlapping pulses, would be of benefit in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma. We describe three patients with pyogenic granuloma treated with the pulsed dye laser, with the total number of treatments and energy densities varying according to the size of the initial lesion. All three patients demonstrated complete resolution of lesions with no evidence of scarring, atrophy, or pigment changes. This preliminary report suggests that pulsed laser therapy should be considered in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma, especially in cosmetically sensitive areas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14504143202768keywords = angioma, hemangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
