Large Cavernous Hemangioma in the Jejunum of a 2-year-old Boy Treated by Laparoscopy-assisted Resection
Jinyoung Park
J Korean Assoc Pediatr Surg 2012;18(1):24-29.   Published online June 30, 2012

Although hemangiomas are common vascular tumors that can occurany where in the body, they seldom involve the gastrointestinal tract. Hemangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract in infants and children are rare benign vascular tumors that most commonly present with gastrointestinal bleeding. We describe here the case of 2-year-old boy with intestinal bleeding caused by a large jejunal cavernous hemangioma, which was treated by laparoscopy-assisted resection of the affected portion of the jejunum.

A Case of Mediastinal Cavernous Hemangioma
Seock Yeol Lee, Kyung Bae Park, Mee Hye Oh, Seung Jin Lee, Cheol Sae Lee
J Korean Assoc Pediatr Surg 2009;15(2):161-165.   Published online December 31, 2009
DOI: https://doi.org/10.13029/jkaps.2009.15.2.161

We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the anterior mediastinum that was incidentally detected by chest radiography taken at a routine health check-up. A mass lesion was seen in the anterior mediastinum on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Direct surgical removal was performed for diagnosis and treatment through right thoracotomy. Histopathology confirmed the mass as a cavernous haemangioma. Post-operative course was uneventful.

Diffuse Cavernous Hemangioma of the Rectosigmoid Colon: a Case Report
Yong Geun Park, Jae Hee Chung, Young Tack Song
J Korean Assoc Pediatr Surg 2003;9(2):121-124.   Published online December 31, 2003
DOI: https://doi.org/10.13029/jkaps.2003.9.2.121

Diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectosigmoid is a rare lesion usually presented in children and young adult, often with life threatening hemorrhage. The clinical diagnosis is difficult and often delayed because of lack of awareness of the clinical features. We report a case of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectosigmoid in a 12-year-old boy who had undergone suture ligation under the impression of hemorrhoid at his age 3. Sphincter-saving coloanal pull through procedure were applied as the surgical treatment. Sclerotherapy was needed with recurrent rectal bleeding 6 months after the pull through operation. The patient is well at 12 months follow-up.

Gastroduodenal Intussusception due to Gastric Submucosal Hemangiomatosis
Soo Jin Na Choi, Sang Young Chung, Shin Kon Kim, Sang Woo Jung
J Korean Assoc Pediatr Surg 2000;6(2):149-152.   Published online December 31, 2000
DOI: https://doi.org/10.13029/jkaps.2000.6.2.149

Gastroduodenal intussusception, an invagination of a part of the gastric wall through the pyloric canal into the duodenum is a rare condition. Gastroduodenal intussusception is caused by a mobile usually benign gastric tumor. However, gastroduodenal intussusception by gastric submucosal hemangiomatosis is not documented. We have managed a case of gastric submucosal tumor leading to gastroduodenal intussusception in 2 years and 10 months old boy. The tumor was 10 × 5 × 3 cm in size in posterior wall of gastric antrum. Laparotomy, manual reduction of the intussusception, and wedge resection of posterior gastric wall including the tumor were performed. Pathologic diagnosis was a submucosal hemangiomatosis.

Case Report

[English]
Infantile hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumors of infants and are characterized by abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells and aberrant blood vessel architecture. The drug Sirolimus has been explored as a new therapeutic option in the management of vascular anomalies that do not respond to conventional treatments. This report presents a case of refractory multiple infantile hemangiomatosis with brain involvement that was successfully treated with sirolimus.
