Many answers: This is very difficult to do, AND usually very expensive. Many of us have an internal hemangioma somewhere in our body, but they rarely cause a problem. If you have a family history of familial hemagiomatosis, then you should get checked-usually by a vascular surgeon or phlebologist.

Why bother ?: The process would be difficult,expensive & likely not covered by any insurance. Most internal hemangiomas of any significance are located in sites where enlargement would interfere with a function, like blocking your swallowing.The natural pattern finds them at peak relative size at age 9-10 months with a gradual decline over several years.If they haven't bothered you by now why look?
