Ch12 Vascular,Lymph, etc Flashcards
Hemangioma vs vascular malformations: __________ are considered to be benign tumors of infancy that display a rapid growth phase with endothelial cell PROLIFERATION, followed by gradual INVOLUTION
Hemangioma
Hemangioma vs vascular malformations: ___________ are structural anomalies of blood vessels with NORMAL endothelial cell turnover. By definition, they are present at birth and persist throughout life.
vascular malformations
What are the most common tumors of infancy?
hemangiomas
Hemangioma: gender? race? location? # of tumors usually?
FEMALE (3:1/5:1), white, head and neck (60%), 20% have multiple tumors
Do hemangiomas of infancy blanch?
no
what % of hemangiomas regress by age 5? how many by age 9?
50%…90%
What % of hemangiomas of infancy regress without scarring, telangectasias, etc?
50% (40% will have these..the other 10%? fuck if I know)
What are the 2 variations of congenital hemangioma?
1.rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH) and 2.Noninvoluting congenital hemangioma (NICH)
When does a RICH typically involute?
9 to 14 months of age
What is the most common complication in congenital hemangiomas?
ulceration
What is PHACE(S) syndrome?
- Posterior fossa brain anomalies (Dandy-Walker malformation) 2.Hemangioma (cervical segmental) 3.Arterial anomalies 4.Cardiac defects and Coarctation of the aorta 5. Eye anomalies 6. Sternal cleft / Supraumbilical raphe
association between infantile haemangiomas and malformation of eyes, heart, major arteries, and brain.
_________ phenomenon is a serious coagulopa-
thy that has been associated with two rare vascular tumors
Kasabach-Merritt
characterised by the combination of rapidly growing vascular tumour, thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and consumptive coagulopathy. The blood clotting disorder results from platelets and other clotting factors of the blood being used up within the tumor.
Kasabach-Merritt is associated with what two rare vascular tumors?
tufted hemangioma and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma
This disorder is characterized by severe thrombocy- topenia and hemorrhage because of platelet trapping within the tumor. The mortality rate is as high as 20% to 30%.
Kasabach-Merritt
Port wine stains are relatively common _______ malformations that occur in 0.3% of newborns and have been associated with somatic mutations in the ____ gene.
capillary…GNAQ
_________ are most common on the face, particularly along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve
Port wine stain
In __________, associated intracranial lesions are present with port wine stains
Sturge-Weber syndrome
As the patient gets older, port wine stains often darken and becomes nodular because of vascular ______.
ectasia
Typically, ______ malformations are blue and are easily compressible. They often grow proportionately with the patient, but they may swell when dependent or with increased venous pressure. Secondary thrombosis and phlebolith formation can occur.
VENOUS
Because of the FAST vascular flow through these lesions, a palpable thrill or bruit often is noticeable. The overlying skin typically feels warmer to touch.
Arteriovenous malformations
When are jaw hemangiomas typically discovered?
first 3 decades of life
jaw hemangioma: gender? location?
female, 3x more often in mandible
Can intrabony hemangiomas cause swelling? tooth mobility? bleeding from ginigival sulcus?
yes, not commonly but yes
What are 3 buzz terms for radiographic presentations of intrabony hemangiomas?
honeycomb, soap bubble, sunburst
________ can be helpful in demonstrating the vascular nature of and intrabony hemangioma
Angiography
Because of their similar features, many vascular malformations are incorrectly categorized as ________.
hemangiomas
______ is an immunohistochemical marker that is consistently positive in the hemangioma of infancy
GLUT1
Interesting…. _______ is negative in other developmental vascular tumors and anomalies (RICH, NICH, tufted angioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, pyogenic granuloma, and vascular malformations)
GLUT1
aka GLUT1 is positive in hemangiomas of infancy(infantile hemangiomas) BUT negative in congenital hemangioms(RICH/NICH), kaposiform, tufted, and PG
For problematic or life-threatening hemangiomas, pharmacologic therapy with _______ has become the first-line treatment in recent years.
the beta blocker propranolol
Hemangioma tx: __________ also may help to reduce the size of the lesion, but this approach is associated with a greater risk potential than propranolol therapy. Intralesional and topical __________ sometimes have been used for smaller localized, problematic lesions.
Systemic corticosteroids…corticosteroids
Intravenous (IV) ________ may be considered for complicated hemangiomas
vincristine (chemotherapy drug)
Whats another term for port wine stain?
nevus flammeus
Sclerotherapy involves the injection of sclerosing agents, such as 95% ________ or sodium ______ sulfate, directly into the lesion to induce fibrosis.
ethanol…tetradecyl
