Question 1

could hemangioma in the mouth turn into cancer?

Accepted Answer

Very doubtful: Hemangioms can spontaneously regress and or disappear. This is especially true in children. There is a very rare condition called a hemangiosarcoma, but i've only seen one in 40 yr of medical practice and hundreds of hemangiomas.

Question 2

can a liver hemangioma bad taste  in mouth and cause dry eyes?  radioligist probably hemangioma small 2cm on ultrasound. dr., might want to do scan?  can you determine if it is my an ultrasound only?

Accepted Answer

Dry eye: Your dry eye symptoms are not related to your liver lesion.  I would recommend getting the scan to further evaluate the lesion.

Question 3

what can i do for a small strawberry hemangioma on my head?

Accepted Answer

Surgery/laser: Surgery or laser for an adult.  Medication is not likely to work.

Question 4

can a hemangioma on side of tongue not be purple but more pink and yellow?!? but when applied pressure it goes away?!?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Depending on the depth of the lesion, a hemangioma can have the colors you described. If it does not bleed and does not become bigger, you may leave it alone.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

i have a pale pink yellow spot on side of tongue. when i apply pressure it goes away! can this be a hemangioma or oral cancer?!?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: Can't tell without an examination.  There are literally scores of lesions that match your very sketchy description.  Please see your General Dentist or an Oral Surgeon for an evaluation.  Hemangioma is unlikely.

Question 6

i have a pale patch on side of tongue that has red blood vessels in it. when applied pressure it goes away. what could it be?!? my dr said hemangioma

Accepted Answer

Hemangioma: These are quite common. If it's not growing out of proportion with the rest of your tongue, it's probably best left alone.

Question 7

my 2 month old daughter has a hamengioma above her upper lip. it's growing and swelling fast, what should we do?

Accepted Answer

Watch and Wait: Hemangiomas may grow and max out in size until 6-8 mos of age.Then they disappear with age, but may take several years.If it is a problem, see your doctor.

Question 8

my 2 month old daughter has a hamengioma above her upper lip. some doctors say its a capillary hamengioma while others say its cavarnous. what is the difference and how can we ascertain which one is it?

Accepted Answer

Small/large vessels: Infantile hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions that have a characteristic clinical course marked by early proliferation and followed by spontaneous involution by 9 years old. A capillary hemangioma is the most common type. It is made up of small capillaries that are normal in size and diameter, but high in number. A cavernous hemangioma is made up of larger blood vessels that are dilated.

Question 9

have birthmark on head mri last week shown diffuse haemangioma in skull bone ?! should i be worried cant stop panicking risk of death?

Accepted Answer

These: lesions are almost always BENIGN!!  They are NOT associated with a risk of death. Follow your Primary Health Care Provider's lead and consult with the proper surgeon if removal is being considered.
Hope this helps!
