Question
A friend’s child has discovered a lump on their hip, which has been diagnosed by a doctor as a hemangioma and requires surgical removal. Is this situation severe? Will there be a recurrence after surgery? What are the characteristics of pediatric hemangiomas?
Answer
Hemangiomas are one of the most common benign skin tumors. Treatment methods include surgical removal and other treatment options, depending on the size and specific circumstances of the hemangioma. It is recommended that patients visit a vascular tumor department or dermatology department in a regular hospital for detailed examination. If the hemangioma is small in size, medication treatment can be considered; if medication treatment is not suitable or ineffective, then radiation or surgical treatment can be considered.
