Abstract

Abstract Objectives Congenital hemangiomas have been well documented, but there remains relatively little information regarding the workup of large or atypical vascular lesions in neonates beyond history and physical exam. Case presentation We report a case of a large congenital hemangioma overlying the anterior chest wall of a term male infant. Imaging by ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of congenital hemangioma, either non-involuting or rapidly-involuting type. Further imaging supported a plan to manage this case conservatively. Conclusions We present a case of a giant congenital hemangioma overlying most of the chest wall of a term infant and describe the findings on physical exam and imaging, as well as a work-up of similar lesions.

巨大的先天性血管畸形:诊断方法和临床过程

【摘要】目的先天性血管瘤已经有了很好的文献记载，但除了病史和体格检查外，关于新生儿大或非典型血管病变的检查仍然相对较少。我们报告一例巨大的先天性血管瘤覆盖前胸壁的足月男婴。超声和计算机断层扫描证实了先天性血管瘤的诊断，无论是非渐开式还是快速渐开式。进一步的影像学检查支持了保守治疗的计划。结论:我们报告了一例巨大的先天性血管瘤，覆盖了足月婴儿的大部分胸壁，并描述了体格检查和影像学的发现，以及对类似病变的检查。

期刊介绍： Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
