Multiple Flebolitlerle Birlikte Görülen Hemanjiyomlar: Vaka Serisi

Hemanjiyomlar, vasküler yapılardan kaynaklanan benign infantil lezyonlardır. Hemanjiyomlar histolojik olarak kapiller, kavernöz ve mikst tipler olarak sınıflandırılır. Hemanjiyomların çoğu tedavi olmaksızın kendiliğinden kaybolur. Hemanjiyomların %15'i baş ve boyun bölgesinde bulunurken, bunların sadece %1'i iskelet kasında ortaya çıkar. Flebolitler, hemanjiyomun patognomonik özelliği olarak düşünülebilecek kalsifiye nodüllerdir. Bu olgu serisi ile flebolitli hemanjiyomların klinik ve radyolojik özelliklerini tanımlamayı amaçladık.

Hemangiomas Associated With Multiple Phlebolites: Case Series

Hemangiomas are benign infantile lesions originating from vascular structures. Hemangiomas are histologically classified as capillary, cavernous and mixed types. Majority of hemangiomas disappear spontaneously without treatment. 15% hemangiomas are in the head and neck region while only 1% of those arise in skeletal muscle. Phlebolites are calcified nodules that can be considered as a pathognomonic feature of hemangioma. With this case series we aimed to describe clinical and radiological features of hemangiomas with phlebolites.
