KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging

      • Clinical Issues

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Abbreviations

          • Infantile hemangioma (IH)
          • Congenital hemangioma (CH)
          • Rapidly involuting CH (RICH)
          • Noninvoluting CH (NICH)
          • Lobular capillary hemangioma (LobCpH)

        • Synonyms

          • LobCpH = pyogenic granuloma
            • Neither caused by purulence or histologically granulomatous

        • Definitions

          • Hemangioma = benign neoplastic vascular tumor composed of vessels with endothelial cellular proliferation and mitoses
            • Not vascular malformation
          • Terminology used inconsistently in adult MSK literature, in which "hemangioma" is often used to refer to what should be called slow-flow vascular malformation (venous or cavernous malformation with phleboliths) that is nonneoplastic structural anomaly of vessels
